trialsguyperth Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 the helicoil spring bitty fell out my brake mount when i was screwing out the bolt. why did it do this, is it because i may have screwed the bolt in to tight. and can you put the coil bit back in without using the specific tools for the job? please help im bikeless and the weathers good. haha seems such a waste..

gu trials Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 did you tap the mount before putting the helicoil in ? this is how it keeps in place and the bolt uses the thread of the helicoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Sounds unusual. You may not have screwed the insert in tight enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
