Injector Clamping Bolt Thread Repair Kit - Laser - 6958

This kit is specifically designed for Mercedes-Benz CDi engines that use M8 x 1.0mm injector clamping bolts.

Yes, you will need an appropriate tap wrench. Laser recommends Part No. 6000 for optimal results.

While the principle of thread repair is universal, this kit's components (drill sizes, tap size) are specifically for the M8 x 1.0mm thread found on certain Mercedes-Benz CDi engines. Using it on other applications may not yield correct results.

The kit includes five threaded inserts.

The primary advantage is the significant time saved, as it allows for injector clamping bolt thread repair without removing the cam cover, enabling the repair to be performed with minimal dismantling.

The kit includes a drill guide which should be used to maintain accuracy and ensure the drilled hole and subsequent tapped threads are straight and perpendicular to the surface.

The tap and the included threaded inserts are M8 x 1.0mm.

Ensure the tap is straight and perpendicular to the hole. Use adequate lubrication. Check if the tap is worn or damaged.

Verify that the hole was drilled and tapped to the correct specifications. Ensure the insert fitting tool is used correctly and the insert is properly aligned before seating.

Ensure the drill guide is securely in place and centered over the damaged area before starting to drill. Use a pilot hole if necessary.

Apply more cutting fluid or oil. Ensure no debris is obstructing the threads. Use a tap wrench with a comfortable grip and apply steady, even pressure.
