Repairing damaged threads
A repair kit, 503 27 33-01, is available for repairing
damaged threads.
First drill out the hole using:
6.1 mm drill bit for magnesium crankcase
Then screw in the thread insert using a suitable
bolt and spanner.
Thread insert
A damaged thread can be repaired using a thread
insert. The slotted part of the thread insert is
screwed in first, as this is the cutting part.
To repair a thread that was originally designed for a
PL5 screw: first drill out with a 6.1 mm diameter
drill bit, then screw in the thread insert using a
suitable screw and spanner.
To repair a thread that was originally designed for a
MT6 screw: first drill out with a 7.1 mm diameter
drill bit, then screw in the thread insert using a
suitable screw and spanner.
This type of thread insert is best suited for use in
plastic and magnesium, but not for repairing
threads in aluminium. In that case use a helicoil
insert with metric screw.
