– WARNING –
Cutting tools may shatter if broken. The
wearing of safety glasses is required in
the vicinity of their use.
– CUTTING FULID –
A Cutting Fluid is necessary for reaming
and tapping. (WD40)
– AIR RATCHET –
Use of an air ratchet at slow speed will
help speed up the reamer tool.
This is not recommended as an “Over the fender repair”
Due to the long pilots on the reamer and tap, there is a possibility of the pilot breaking off and falling into the engine.
Before you proceed:
Make sure that the head is raised above the working surface at least an inch or 25mm so that the pilots on the tap and reamer
tools have clearance as to not hit the surface below. If repairing on a work bench this can be accomplished by using 2 short
pieces of 2”x 4”wood to raise the head from the surface then secure head in place.
Instructions are using a block of aluminum, for better viewing. This repair can be done on the vehicle at your own risk.
1) Using the wrench provide, place the
reamer into square of the wrench and
tighten the setscrew to secure the
reamer in place. The pilot on the
reamer will keep the newly reamed hole
square to the original threads.
Picture A.
Ream the hole until the black stop
collar bottoms out on the hole and spins
freely.
This will create a countersink for the
flange of the insert. Picture B.

2) Using the wrench provided, place the
tap into the square of the wrench and
tighten the setscrew to secure the tap in
place. Picture C.
Tap the hole to the full depth permitted by
the tool. The tap should “stop” or bottom
out as it comes in contact with the bottom
of the newly reamed hole.
Picture D.
Use contact or brake cleaner to thoroughly
clean out any remaining chips and oil.

into the newly prepared hole.
Picture G.
While screwing the driver into the
insert you will feel the driver start to
tighten up, with a little more power
continue through the insert until it
loosens up. The driver will cold form
the last few threads of the insert locking
it in place. Picture H.
Remove driver, repair is complete.
