Thank you so very much for this video! Your presentation is very clear. Thank you for presenting this video in focus and without music. You stayed on point and your instructions are outstanding.
A very well thought out and complete professional explanation and demonstration of installing a helicoil. Much better than some of the seat of the pants videos you see on RU-vid.
this by far the best presentation compared to other videos on this subject,everything was in focus,there was no rambling ,very straight to the point ,well done my friend.
Thanks for filming and posting, I need to use one of these for the first time in 40 + years of tinkering so your film will be a great help, John from sunny Devon UK
Brilliant video. You explained clearly that the size on the heli-coil pack is the thread size of the bolt you use. Not sure how any idiot could give this video a thumbs down unless of course they are completely ignorant of the subject or else they resent you sharing your expertise. Sincere thanks. michael
Excellent demo. I need to repair a VW MK4 TDi serpentine belt tensioner mounting bolts. They are M8 x 1.25 but one of the three bolt thread is stripped. So I just learned how to repair it from your video.
Thank you that is so helpful. I didn't know about breaking the thing off at the end and thought i would have to screw the helcoil to the bottom of the hole and leave it there. Glad I watched the video first. Thank you
Great video! Am gonna use this on an Eaton M62 supercharger as it's aluminum: the M62's snout hole for the Jeep 4.0L brace is partially stripped and a ticking time bomb. All my question answered in ONE professional video = awesome! Thank you. :)
Thanks for the great and easily understandable video. I've never done this before and have the bottom bolt hole of a starter that is stripped...going into an aluminum bell housing. The starter has only two bolts to begin with. Luckily, the top bolt screws into the starter and is holding well. The bottom bolt...3/8 in. screws into the aluminum bell housing. I may have to do this Heli-Coil as a last resort.
The Tattersfield Flathead on my '51 Dodge pickup has ANOTHER stripped thermostat housing thread. Yours is a very good and simple and Short example explained very well by you... Good 4 my Brush Up - Here I Go................. Thanks... LJR111
Nice I installed two helocoils in my oil pan where the oil cooler lines attach.. I just wanted to say thanks because I watched your video before starting and everything went well. Salute.
Had good experiences working on marine engines with Helicoil. Bolts and holes get eaten up by corrosion, electrolysis and previous sloppy repairs. Never had one fail on me.
Thank you Thank you Thank you! I'll have to buy a kit a land do this for my alternator on my fun car. Made a mistake on the tensioner, I'm sure it'll be just fine now!!
I had my doubts, but a very thorough explanation. My only gripe is that when cutting the thread use cutting compound and back off the other direction every few turns to break any chips that might damage the new cut thread.
Tap wrenches are very helpful also and keep in mind that the beginning of the tap won't have full threads. This means that you will have to go past the tapered part of the tap. I like to use a paint marker to keep from going too deep or not deep enough.
My wife was having a problem with a steering wheel and she kept crashing the car. I tried fixing the steering wheel but I knackered the threads when trying to tap it for the insert. Since the hole went completely through I put a "backing" nut on the other side. It seemed to work for a little while but then she started crashing it again. Do you think I have a nut loose behind the wheel?
Thank you for the video. I have a question.... I have a 2003 Honda Civic Ex that I broke a screw off while changing the VTech gaskets. I messed up trying to retap the hole and woddle the hole out and totally messed it up. What can I do?
