Damaged thread on rear subframe (hicas mount)..help

[beacher1B0]

Or even better if u can find a one is a Re-threading Kit/Thread Chase kit.
If u can access the rear of the hole, rethread/tap/chase the hole from the backside. But remember you only have 1 chance to get it straight with a tap/chase. After that a goof up will become an adventure.

This exact situation happened to me last month. But I stripped the hicas link when i was spinning it out of the Hicas pump thing. It went crooked and i just kept screwing it out and the threads got stripped.

I just went to canadian tire and bought a metric tap and die kit. I used a M14 x 1.5 Die... which in your case you need the tap. Then i returned the kit to Canadian tire and got my money back.. lol

.. yes i'm corrupt.

Fixed the thread yesterday , to 1 min to do and a 22$ tap (m12x1.5).I'll tackle re-refitting the subframe today.
