I seem to recall just seeing a comment that a thread cleaner could be made from an old exhaust stud simply by using something like a dremel tool and a cutting wheel to make a slice in the threads, I assume perpindicular. Should this be done with a new stud or an old one. Should the slice simply be that, a slice or should one side or the other be tapered a bit to hold the loctite or whatever is being cleaned out of the threads?
