I don't know how muck thread they have in them, but why not get a long screw and wind it in as far as it will go, then measure to see how much thread you have, if your going to cut I would do an equal amount from both ends.

I Have cut the axial links with no issues of rethreading into the side I cut. I don't remember how far I cut but a old trick if you don't have a tap and dye set is to take an old screw of the same size and thread it into the cut end first then back it out that way it will at least provide some relief when threading in the rod end.
