- Drill out the damaged thread or screw with the spiral drill (3).
- Cut new thread in the drilled hole with the tap. Use a suitable cutting fluid for best results.
- Put the thread insert on the installation tool. The driving tap on the thread insert must be put in the tap groove on the installation tool. Adjust the depth stop ring. Fit the thread insert in the newly cut thread and screw it carefully in place. 4. Snap off the installation tap with pliers.
NOTE:
Depending on the application a magnet may be need to remove the snapped
installation tap. For larger sizes of thread, especially spark plug thread,
the installation tap should be
snapped and removed with snipe nose pliers.

Use a suitable cutting fluid and twist back the tap half a turn for each full
turn clockwise to ensure that the threading is effective.
– For blind holes, set the position for the depth adjustment collar (1) on the
installation tool (2) so that the tap does not seat and stick out over the
