    sounds metric , see if the "tool" mates up to the bolt that goes into the hole your trying to rethread , if they dont mesh together nicely its either too course or too fine

    hope that makes sense

            Cheers rusty you were spot on all done i at to go and buy the tool just for 5mins work. but i suppose £3.99 is better than a new caliper tho or £15 for a rethread at my local engineers.

              No worries

              I had to re-thread one of mine many years ago, after is got chewed up. I used a pillar drill to guide it it straight and then did all the threads on both callipers. A rather productive lunch break
