    Can't get my nut on the bolt of the drive shaft to re attach the universal yoke... either it's got stripped on the process or it was like that before. Don't really wanna grind it down, the tip of the bolt is stripped so I can't get the nut on or started. IMG_4548.jpg

    You mushed when you were using the puller. It won't hurt anything to slightly bevel the edge. Grinding it down is your only choice.

    Get a 2 piece dye. Put it on and heat the shit out of it with an acetalyne torch and cut some new threads

    It looks like you put a puller on that shaft and mushroomed those threads

    I would suggest trying to get a correct sized die to start on it.
