I had to do one of these manually once. Its on the grey car here
I got my mate to build up the area where the threads went with weld, he ground most of the existing threads away before he built it up. We didnt touch the plain portion that goes in the axle.
Once home I annealed the weld, warmed it up orange and let it cool slowly in some lime.
Then ground/filed it back round 5/8. I put a BSF thread on it (14TPI I seem to remember from memory) as I had tooling. Then just cut down a BSF nut to suit.
