To use the XPOtool 63323 Thread Repair Kit, follow these steps:
1. Drilling:
- Use a standard drill to drill out the damaged thread. The correct drills are included up to size M12 (½″).
- If using the particular spark-plug-bore drill, you will not need to pre-drill the thread. Note that larger holes are required if using thread moulders.
2. Checking:
- Check the thread and pitch of the thread drill to know if they match the xxxx .
3. Thread-cutting:
- With the use of the special thread drills, cut the mounting thread into the pre-drilled hole.
- It is advisable to use appropriate cutting oil.
4. Installing the inset:
- Set the inset onto the mounting tool and position the adjustable ring so that the pin of the mounting tool is centered in the pin slot.
- With slight pressure, turn the inset downward until it is half a turn beneath the surface.
- Do not turn against the direction of the thread, as the pin could break.
5. Removing the pin:
- After finishing, lift the mounting tool and use the pin-breaking tool to remove the pin.
- When working on larger sizes or spark plug threads, use needle-nose pliers to remove the pin.
- Thanks to the narrow and precise tolerances, the new thread is normally stronger than the old one.
