ok so i had to pull my flywheel of and i had to use a spacer for the puller i use and i use a large nut and use a corner but it stated slipping so it smashed 3 threads down how can i get the bolt on with a trick with the rethreading tools.
 
Yes, use your nut to find the correct dye(rethreader) size. Clean the threads up on the end enough to get ur nut past them.

Make sure to put a mark on the end of the threads where the key aligns b/c when you put the flywheel back on, its hard to tell if you're lined up or not. (I used a Sharpie) When you think you got it lined up, bump the flywheel lightly with a rubber hammer to help it get started to seat on the crank.
