    John, it is not recommended to use a die unless it is split, so that you can install it on the thread and wind off.  If you use a die-nut and it starts in the wrong place it can seriously under-cut the existing thread.   The tool I  have is like a nut-cracker which opens up, and fits over the axle thread.  If you can't get one of these then a thread file is recommended.    B.T.W.  Jet axles are 20 t.p.i., which is quite a fine thread, not like a standard U.N.F. bolt.  Good luck,
    Geoff
