Laser Tools Sump Plug Thread Repair Kit - M11 x 1.5

This kit is specifically designed to repair M11 x 1.5 sump plug threads.

No, the tap wrench is not included and must be purchased separately. You will need a tap wrench compatible with the M11 x 1.5 tap.

This kit is suitable for any vehicle that uses an M11 x 1.5 thread size for its sump plug. Always confirm your vehicle's specific thread size.

You likely need this kit if your sump plug is difficult to screw in or out, feels stripped, or if you notice oil leaks around the sump plug area due to damaged threads.

The oversized tap is used to cut new, slightly larger threads into the existing damaged threads. This allows the included oversized drain plugs to create a secure and leak-free fit.

The tap is designed for multiple uses, provided it is cleaned and cared for properly after each use. Inspect it for wear before each application.

The kit includes drain plugs and copper washers. The plugs are typically metal, designed to fit the re-tapped threads, and the copper washers provide a seal.

Ensure the tap is entering the hole straight. Back it out frequently to clear shavings. Apply a small amount of cutting oil if necessary.

Verify the correct tap size was used and that it was turned straight. Ensure the oversized plug and washer are properly seated. If the damage is severe, the oil pan may need professional assessment or replacement.

This typically happens if too much force is applied or if the tap is not turned straight. Ensure a steady, even pressure. If the tap breaks off inside the oil pan, professional removal or oil pan replacement will be required.

Ensure a new copper washer was used and that it is correctly seated. Do not overtighten the drain plug, as this can damage the new threads. Check if the oil pan itself has any cracks.
