Special tools
Repairing
1 Widen core hole with spiral drill.
Note
Do not countersink hole.
2 Re-tap the damaged thread with the special Heli-Coil thread tap.
3 Fit spindle (1) and mouthpiece (2) matching the thread onto the installation tool.
Note
Slot on mouthpiece (2) must be aligned with the marking on the installation tool (arrows).
4 Insert Heli-Coil threaded insert (3) into the spindle (1) in the installation tool.
Note
The driver studs of the Heli-Coil threaded insert must be located in the slot (arrow).
5 Turn threaded insert (3) through the mouthpiece with the spindle until the threaded insert is flush at the front.
6 Fit installation tool onto the threaded hole and turn in the insert without exerting pressure on the spindle.
Note
Turn in insert 1/2 to 1 1/2 turns deeper than the surface of the tapped hole.
7 Remove studs up to M12 by means of stud breaker. For threaded inserts greater than M12, remove studs with fine-nose pliers by up- and downward movements.
