INTRODUCTION

Superb for repairing sump, gearbox, and differential drain plug threads. Used to tap the damaged thread slightly oversize, then fit a new drain plug and washer (supplied). Set is suitable for the most popular threads used on cars and light commercial vehicles. Supplied in storage case.

SPECIFICATION

Model No: …………………………………………………………. VS660
Tap Sizes: ….M13 x 1.5, M15 x 1.5, M17 x 1.5, M20 x 1.5mm

OPERATION

To repair a damaged drain plug thread first establish the thread size of the damaged plug then choose a tap that is slightly larger than the existing thread.
Mount the tap in a suitable tap wrench and lightly oil it.
Introduce the tap into the damaged sump hole ensuring that it enters in line with the hole. Rotate the tap until it begins to bite then advance it a half turn and back it off by a quarter turn.
As thread cutting proceeds periodically remove the tap and clean it to prevent a build-up of metal shavings from being deposited in the sump. Proceed until the tap is running freely in the hole then remove it.
Fit the appropriate sump plug and washer and tighten.
After the next use of the vehicle check that the plug and washer are oil tight.
