whts up ht...its been awhile to get on ht ha

i own a 94 gsr and i accidentally over tight the 3 bolts for the half shaft on the block which its came out as stripped =(....

so im wondering if can do Heli-Coil Insert with the thread fixed??

but can do it by under the vehicle while doing that???

 

come on y'all, its okay if anyone dont understand wht im tryin to explain, please let me know....

I don't know objectively. I didn't seem like they torque on those bolts is so high that heli-coils wouldn't work.

The three bolts are 10mm with 1.25mm thread pitch - torqued to 29ft-lbs. Doesn't seem like you're going to rip out a coil that large in diameter with only 29ft-lbs.

OTOH, what choice do you have? It's *way* cheaper than a new block...

As for doing this in-vehicle, perhaps. I'd check with a local machine shop - they love to talk... who knows, a cold-one may go a long way!

 

yea, u r correct abt the bolts but im thinkin to get the motor remove and let it stand on straight vertically which i could try to re tap and insert heli-coils to fixed the thread...

if i would go to the local machine shop and will cost me more $$ on labor, so im not sure yet

i dislike the 3 hex bolts on the block for half shaft because they r not really strong enough

 

does it happen to you anyone before? wht r the steps you had got it fixed?

best way is to remove the motor and re tap evenly??

They make a jig for hand drills that hold them square to the surface being drilled, which might work if the surface of the block is flat there (don't recall).
