I'd be very surprised if it did.
M16 die nut is what you need. Just run it down with a ratchet and a socket (carefully with plenty of lubrication), you might like to find someone who will lend you one as buying one that size wont be cheap for just one use.

Without wishing to sound 'daft', but how do i use a socket on something that has a length of about 5".
Are ratcheting die holders available??, as you can't turn the handle far enough on a normal die-holder, or I'd have got the father-in-law to do it at the bus garage

hold the loop section in a vice & wind the die nut down with a suitable sized socket & ratchet

Yes, but my point is/was;
If I use a ratchet, with a socket. How does it cope with the threaded section, unless cut-down first, surely the ratchet 1/2" drive will prevent much of the sockets travel :?

Or are Die-Nuts very deep??

Will a spanner not do the job?
