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?

That makes sense to me, wish I'd heard of it, or thought of it before using the tap first. I'd guess a good used stud would work fine (I have plenty of used dilavars I no longer need). I suppose one or more vertical slices down the threads would reasonably clean out the old loctite for sure. Thx
