I recently used die nut to extend the thread on 8 m12 studs by about 80mm each. The die nut was a volkel hss type and done them all with no problem and is still in good shape.
I modified a socket into a deep socket by cutting it in half and welding in a piece of pipe, so I could turn the nut with a ratchet and because access was tight.
