fork drain screw bolt sheared

<< < (6/14) > >>

MikeM:
if this new tool does not work , how do inserts work then , these are 6mm by 10mm bolts

what size insert would i have to order

ka-ja:
Hi,
    The inserts are basically a diamond section coil, the "hole" needs to be drilled to the correct size and tapped out with a "dedicated" tap, and the insert then screwed in with a mandril, you end up with the thread back to its original size, you can buy inserts, but are better off starting with an insert kit that contains inserts,drills and mandrils.

MikeM:
What i am confused about is the depth ?

is this the full kit needed, goes down 8mm, cant seem to find a 10mm version
