Ok, read a past thread on how to do it.
Went to auto parts store , and got a 5/16 kit and began to tap. It is too small for the stripped hole to make threads, but is same size of bolt.
I stripped one of them out doing my brakes, top one on driver side. It is ok, but don't want to drive much on it like it is.
Do I need to buy one size larger on tap, and use 5/16 bolt I got at dealer, or do I need larger bolt also?
If so what size bolt/tap and helicoil? this is for my TJ.
the 5/16 is largest I have on hand. I am really in a bind, and haven't ever done this before. I am bumming.
thanks Bryan
