Message	that is a fairly easy process; then you can install the helicoils. A larger hole is drilled to remove old threads, and then a wider diameter, same pitch tap is run through. The helicoil is screwed down, seated, and then the "driver tab" is snapped off. I think your biggest concern will be keeping metal chips from falling down into the plenum. _________________________________________________
