Stripped K5 drain plug

(1/3) > >>

DEZADX:
The heli-coil that was put in recently has stripped out.  Any solutions on how to fix and where to get another?

DEZADX:
Sorry, I accidently put this in the wrong section.  Still need the help, though.  Thanks.

k5abuser:
dril and tap to the next size up in american thread's. take your time and back the tap out every turn and a half to make sure you don't mess the new threads your cutting ( use trans fluid as a lube for the tap ). this is best done with the cases apart . if you can't than flush the motor out with pre mix gas and oil than fill up with oil start and drain and refill with oil.that shouod clean out the motor safely. good luck

stewart:
dont install  to long of a new bolt or it will hit the parts inside..i tap them 7/16 fine thread  and use a bolt about 1/2 inch long

ID KX500:
I did the same thing this summer. I found this website for a variety of plugs metric and american. Many have magnets to grab metal.
