Transfer case plug helicoil?
Saw my truck was leaking at the T-case fill plug. When I tried to tighten it, it just spun. I got it out, and found the threads of the plug packed with...something metal, which I was able to spin off of the threads. I will try to post some pics soon.
Now I need to repair this. Does anyone know if the fill plug is heli-coiled? My thought was to tap the threads, and put is a M18 helicoil. Finding one that size has been tough though... JT |

IF its
If it's just a plug (for the filler hole?) just tap it out to the next size, IMHO a helicoil job isn't really needed if its not supporting anything
