Repairing Damaged Threads - Husqvarna Zenoah GZ2700T Workshop Manual

7.30 Repairing damaged threads

Damaged threads can be repaired using a threading
plug. The slotted section in the thread plug is
screwed in place first as this is the cutting part.
Request to repair a thread where a PL5 screw
was used. First drill with a 6.1 mm bit and then
screw in the thread plug using a suitable screw and
spanner.
If a thread for an MT4 screw must be repaired, first
drill with a 5.1 bit and then screw in the thread plug
using a suitable screw and spanner.
This type of thread plug is ideal for plastic and
magnesium but cannot be used to repair aluminium
threads, where helicoil and metric screws must be
used instead. Check the manufacturer's manual for
thread information.
