Repair Procedure
^
Tools Required
General purpose thread repair kits. These kits are available commercially.
Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.
1. Important: Refer to the thread repair kit manufacturer's instructions regarding the size of the drill and tap to use.
Avoid any buildup of chips. Back out the tap every few turns and remove the chips.
Determine the size, the pitch, and the depth of the damaged thread. If necessary, adjust the stop collars on the cutting tool and tap to the required
depth.
