Fitting nuts
If you are sure that the threads are the same nut=to-stud then you could try a trick I stumbled on with a car restoration.
I could not get the track rod end nut to run sweetly on to the tread even after I had run the correct die onto the thread and tap into the nut so in desperation I mounted the end vertically in the vice (soft jaws of course) put the nut on one thread and then filled it with Brasso. With very little working backwards and forwards the nut then ran on using fingers alone. I cannot explain what happened as the threads were bright and clean beforehand. I just assume that the mild abrasive in the Brasso removed something I could not see.
