I was playing around with the drum puller that I bought from Les Fairbanks a few years ago and decided that I might want/have to clean up the studs and nuts on the Chrysler brakes that are on my 56 Dodge D500.
I have a couple of tap and die sets and one of them has a set of Right Hand thread 1/2" x 20 tap and dies. I tried them on the RH parts of Les's tool and they worked fine (enough)
So that will work for the right side of the car but not for the left.
For the left, I will need to source a Left Hand thread set (tap and die).
I found this one but I don't know if there is a better brand to chase (so to speak)

Location: So. Cal | There are quite a few to choose from on Ebay. I'm not sure of good brands at this point. This is one.

FWIW, be aware that there is a difference between taps/dies and thread chasers Taps/dies are for cutting new threads so choose wisely.
