Expert Reply:
You would not use a tap to clean the threads. A tap would be used to cut new threads. To clean out the weld nuts on the vehicle in order to install a trailer hitch you will just need some WD40, a wire brush like # DW00254, and a little elbow grease. I have included a link to our FAQ article and a video on cleaning out weld nuts for hitch installation.
