with a die you always want to use oil but if your cutting the bolt with a power tool then ur have a chance of igniting the oil...so better to use oil and a die after the cutting process...
anyway glad you got the bolt done and enjoy those brakes they make a world of difference

Tap and die sets are common. And if he doesnt have one then who cares?
Unless the bolt were corroded as fuck, you probably wouldnt even need oil to begin with.
Putting the die on first shouldnt remove much if any material, and the point of the die going on first is to get rid of the chance of mashing or crossthreading the bolt by attempting to start the threading tool on the freshly hacked up end.
