Help with incorrectly threaded bolt

[Rockstar08]

Or you can try helicoil if there is enough material thickness behind it.

wondering what kind of protection can the bull bar provide judging from those little hex screws. A bull bar at least should look like this.

Awesome picture I see you ran into another idiot Prius driver….lol…doesn’t look too bad though!

Don't you HATE it when a Prius gets stuck in your grill?

(High pressure hose usually gets them out)

I’m curious how/why you referred to me as K? Do we know each other from somewhere else?

For future reference for others as well. I've seen this subject several times on here.

Tap and die set is one of the best tools you can buy!

I finally had some time to try this out. Ordered a tap and die set on Amazon with some oil and had fun figuring out how it worked. After a couple YT videos I was feeling pretty good about the process.

One week without a bolt in the hole had allowed a bit of rust to form in there. Brushed out what I could and took my time. It went super smoothly and I even fixed up the bolt.

I swapped the bolts around so that it wasn’t fixed bolt with fixed whole and got everything loosely screwed in. Tightened it up and no problems.

Thanks for the help/tips!
