My top thermo housing bolt hole threads were stripped out. I had to use an M6 helicoil and used the stock bolt. Took me 45 minutes. Its harder to drill a new hole and helicoil it than it is to helicoil an exsisting hole. You have to get the entire drill dead center and flush with the thing you are working on because if you are off just a hair, the helicoil will go in crooked and the part will not go on properly.
I hope it works out for you, and good luck. Edit: The fan/clutch assembly has to come out with the fan shroud, theres no way around it. Last edited by IHateHacks; 07-02-2006 at 02:14 PM. |
