the nut wont go on the exhaust bolt.....
well i cant get the nut to go on one of the exhaust bolts. the threads on the bolt it self looks fine but keeps stripping out the nut a little more every time, but obviously its not fine. any way to fix this or get around this? maybe a nut with a tougher thread? idk really, but im gettin aggrivated, because i just installed an a/c and a pc3 tonight and im not getting to ride tomorrow,

Take the exhaust off so you can see the threads of the stud and take one of the nuts you know to still be good and spin it on the stud and back off to make sure the threads are good.
Check your exhaust gaskets and make sure they are seated fully.
Line your pipes up and get the flange onto the studs without damaging the threads.
Make sure the pipe is seated in the port and flush into the gasket.
Thread the nuts on with your fingers while holding the flange tight against the head. Support the rear of the pipe with your foot for leverage.
Good luck.
There are tools called "rethreader" that you can buy to repair the stud if you've gone too far already.

I had to replace one of my ex studs in the cylinder and had to clean up the other with a thread file as it wouldnt come out of the cylinder. I believe it was 23 or 24 thread size file. It did exactly what you are talking about. If you have to install new studs be sure and anti sieze them before threading into cylinder. So they will come out easier later.

i literally had this problem about 3 weeks ago. I used a 5/16 die with a 23 (if i remember correcly) thread count. If you are sitting on the bike, the stud closer to the left side of the bike was easily rethreaded with this die. The hard part was the stud on right side. I barely had any clearance to get the die over the stud because it was so close to the head. When i say a 5/16th die, i mean that the hole you put over the stud is 5/16.. The die itself was about an inch across. I had to use a smaller 5/16 die to get to the stud that was almost against the head. The nuts spun right on.
