The bottom bolt on my Case Saver is completly stripped and I want to fix it with a heli-coil, but I have few questions first before I go buy the wrong stuff.
1) Where can I buy a Heli-Coil Kit (Not an extremely expensive one)? Do most auto parts stores carry them? Where would be the cheapest place to find one at?
2) Can someone explain Thread Pitch to me and how do i determine what the thread pitch is of a bolt or bolt hole? Do I need to know this for a heli-coil kit?
3) What other information do I need to know before i go buy a heli-coil kit so I don't buy the wrong one?
4) How difficult is installing a Heli-Coil if you have never done it before?
Thanks for the help
