Thread: 98 110 Wheel and swivel bearings

can anyone tell me the thread type/size of the following:

swivel ball to axle housing: M10x1.5
top swivel pin to swivel housing: looks like this one could be M10, but not sure? or thread pitch?
bottom swivel pin to swivel housing:
stub axle to swivel housing:
disc rotor to hub:
driveflange to hub:

Is it ok to use normal taps(taper,inter and bottom) to clean the threads of the holes? or is there actual cleaning taps? if so where are they available?

You need what is called a "Thread Chaser" do not use taps.
You should be able to buy thread chasers from any good tool or engineering supplier

I took my driveflange nut off and checked end float to get an idea of where it is currently at and to see what shims were already in there. When I pulled on the end of the axle shaft I could get 2 movements.....the first required not too much force and I consistantly got 0.33mm. If I pulled a fair bit harder, in which it felt like I had to "pop" it past its friction, I would get a total of 1.53mm. My cv is a R06665 with custom stub shaft so its the same length as a AEU2522. The inner axle is MD. Btw, this was the short side/drivers side (I didnt get time to check the other side) Now im pretty sure I have a bronze bush rather than a needle roller in the stub axle to suit this custom cv. The 2 shims behind the circlip were 0.8-0.9mm and a 1.2mm

Any thoughts?

Sadly something the Gold Coast is missing. We had one good place, Scofields, but they are gone due to GFC. TradeTools dont carry this stuff. The fastener shops only have basic carbide taps and dies (which I wont by anymore...carbide is horrible)

Blackwoods probably sell them, But I bet they are terribly expensive from them and something they would have to get from the wharehouse.

Snap-On sell them

When drifing the new races in, should the drift be made from brass or such? Any tips for drifting them in?

Don't hit your finger with the hammer.

driveflange to hub:M10x1.5

To drift in the new bush you could use the old one as a drift.
