[Mgs] MGA axle carrier threads

[Robert J. Guinness]

Well, the axle carrier threads for the hub nut on my MGA 1600 are 
totally knackered. It looks like the threads were compressed and the 
outside edge flared out.  (When removing the nut, an interior thread of 
the nut peeled off.)   I tried a universal thread chaser.  I also tied 
Barney Gaylord's suggestion of cutting a nut, sliding it over the 
threads, clamping it back together and turning it back and forth.  I 
still cannot start the nut (its a LH  nut with LH axle threads). What 
are my options?
