Default Thread repair?

Is there a product or way that can repair the threads on both a nut and bolt without having to change the size of the threads or the nut. If I rethread the bolt, I will need a smaller nut correct? I don't want to use a smaller nut. :cheers:

Try a tap and die set to repair damaged nut and bolt threads. :)

I've used the heli coil kit before but I need to use the same nut and stud since they are special. I guess I could retread the stud and heli coil the nut so they will work together. Is that possible? Also, would using JB Weld or something allow me to tap and die the stud and nut so they work together?
