I have used helicoil insert kits on several bikes and they work a treat, like you say if you can get access to the area then mask everything off and also have a vacume cleaner ready to suck up the swarf and bits
There are other brands of insert which i think i remember Bryanj mentioning which are supposed to be even better than the helicoil
I bought a cheap kit on ebay which had everthing i needed to do the job

Depending how much material is remaining, but I'm sworn on Time-Sert http://www.timesert.com/

My concern is just the drilling - clearly the hole I drill needs to be straight / square otherwise the insert will be wonky....so it's just a case of having a steady hand and a steady eye whilst drilling?
