BaerCoil® Instruction for use (Thread Repair)
1. Drilling
Clear the damaged thread with a standard drill.
Many kits include the correct drill. To repair a spark plug thread no pre-drilling is necessary if using the special spark plug tap.
Optionally you can countersink the borehole.
2. Tapping
Use the special BaerCoil taps for cutting the holding thread into the cleared hole.
It's recommended to use a suitable cutting oil.
3. Install the insert
Place insert on installing tool and position the adjustable ring so that the insert tang is centred in the tang slot. Wind insert in with light downward pressure until 1/4 to 1/2 turn below the surface.
4. Tang removal
Lift tool from tang, turn 90° and tap down sharply. Use tang break tool where supplied. For bigger sizes and spark plug use a long nose pliers to remove the tang.
Adjustment of length
If necessary, you can shorten BaerCoil wire thread inserts by side cutting pliers to any needed length.
Due to the narrow and exact tolerances the new thread normally is stronger than the original one.
