I have an exterior faucet with the threads grown up

hose screwed on, and would like to chase the threads.

If the r.c.m guys can't help you, why not fill a plastic bag with
vinegar and tie it to the faucet? Keep the thread part in the
vinegar. Replace as needed. Cheaper than a new faucet or a rare
tap and die.
