HELI COIL 4

Right off the shelf from our local parts store. You can also purchase complete multi size kits if your wallet can take the hit. Refills are also available.

Best not to throw out the packaging as you want to keep all the spares and tools together. The tap is only good for these specific inserts; same goes for the install tool (the black steel piece on the left, not you)

Start by taking the properly sized drill bit and drilling out the damaged threads. If you are not certain of the depth available, don’t drill any deeper then you need to.

With assistance from some drilling and tapping lube, tap the hole as straight as possible, as deep as you can without causing damage. If you are wondering… these are specific “Tap Socket Set” designed to attach a ratchet to most common square drive taps. Get a set from Lisle tools and thank us later.
