Listers,
Need some Help!!
I noticed when I took apart my gearbox that the bolts were
very tight... I now think maybe too tight.
While in final reassemnle of the box one of the threads for
the input shaft front cover stripped while torqing to 15
ft/lbs. I have no experience with cutting threads in
aluminium, but am very familiar with tap & die use. I
picked up a 5/16th Helicoil kit this morning thinking that
is the best path... or I could try to drill out to 3/8th
and cut new threads.... but that means drilling out the
cover flange as well.
Anyone that can share some experience and/or knowledge
would be appreciated
