Longitudinal Member Threads, Repairing

Damaged threads can be repaired using wire inserts (heli-coil).

Servicing work may only be performed once per thread.

If servicing is necessary after this, the nuts must be replaced.

Have the thread repair checked by the responsible foreman or next person in charge.

Thread insert must be same length as thread in body.

Repair any damage to the underbody sealant.
