@vtrn_raptor specify which screw! There is a lot of screws on a bike

[NINJA]

@vtrn_raptor Post a pic is the easiest way of pinpointing it's location and size etc. dude.

If the photo is anything to go buy, 20mm M6.

But that's if the photo is anything to go by...

[vtrn_raptor]

Yeah it's a m6 just ordered the tools and the heli coils now should hopefully have the bike back on the road by Thursday fingers crossed

[Calum]

@vtrn_raptor Helicoil should be absolutely last resort.

In most cases, the screw can be removed. I would recommend only helicoiling when all else fails...

[Darty]

@calum Yeah... Not when you don't have the right size thread anymore because you've had to drill it out.

It's your only resort.

[Calum]

@darty You can drill just the bolt. If you've cross threaded the insert, in can be cleaned up again with a die.

[Zrako]

The screws he looking for are for the small cover plate for right crankshaft seal. I think its m5 so if you damaged the thread you can drill it to suit same type of screw size m6. And buy and anti seize molybdenum paste. Im used it on every bolt on the engine.

[Calum]

@zrako Ahh, loctite on engine internals, no way do I want that coming lose. Besides, it's soaked in oil so shouldn't become seized.

As said, impact driver goes a long way here.
