Стружка осталась между зубьев шестерни! На днях проделывал такую работу. Только вместо вставки, применил шпильку, она надежнее, меньше нагрузка на резьбу. Резьбу нарезал 3х проходным метчиком, так для алюминиевого сплава лучше.

what is that blue thing you put with the helicoil? I'm having some problems with mine, the insert is coming out sometimes. I think it´s because I didn´t put that blue thing

[@GuessWhoGurr]

Loctite

[@sidgar1]

The Loctite is unnecessary on bolts that small, in aluminum. Those springs go in and won't come back out, if there was so much torque on the bolt, it would just strip out the thread again. There isn't enough force when loosening that small bolt to back out the insert.

[@GuessWhoGurr]

[@GuessWhoGurr]

@@soulfishertoo luckily I am lucky and nothing happened. I half ass a lot, normally works. If I was pressed about rebuilding this turd I would take more precautions. And I didn’t strip the hole out to begin with ya dick, I had to repair just about every bolt hole on this from the previous idiot. I am very fortunate that you took the time out of your day to comment on my half ass video i threw together on my iPhone. At the end of the day, I, as in my thumb and my need for speed, are the only problem that machine has because I beat the shit out of it. I hope it blows up so I can make more dumb videos like this that get half a million views and pay me. So do I really care? No. Thanks for your input though I really don’t know what I would’ve done without that little bit of “you should’ve done it this way”. Please visit my channel and comment on the rest of my videos so KZbin will promote my videos so I can get more dill holes to comment and so on and so forth.

[@warrenranstrom4462]

How do you know what size drill bit to use? And what size tap to use?

[@GuessWhoGurr]

take your bolt to a hardware store and find the size it is!! then google is a great resource for the rest of this type of information!

[@musthakahamad]

do we need to use that spring after you tapped it .. i saw many videos ppl dont use that spring , whats the advantage of using it ?

[@GuessWhoGurr]

the spring is so you can use the OEM size bolt and not have to use a bigger bolt like if you just drilled and tapped it.

i have to do this in the exact same spot for my wr, do the helicoils stay in? or if i have to take my bolts out again what will happen

Just put some locktite on it and it should stay in place, mine have held up really great all summer with me beating on it. The helicoils stay in just fine and are super strong. You can remove the bolt as much as you need to in the future without any issues!
