Re: A bad thread

That is not so hard to fix. Either you go to a shop that has "HELI-COIL" insert
threeds or you go to a good parts store and buy  the HELI-COIL tool you need.
What you do is drilling with an oversize drill and do a new threed. In that
threed you put an insert for your dimension (M12x1,5). Examine your other
threeds, maybe more are on the way to heaven.
