Maybe you could do a writeup on the product you used, dis-assembly procedure, so forth.... Lots of folks have this problem, and a final solution would be VERY welcome in this community!


Thank you all. I haven't reassembled anything yet because I wanted the thread locker on the insert to set up completely, so I decided to go have dinner with the family and do some work for clients. I have to write a contract in the morning, then I will do final assembly so that everything will have set for 24 hours.

As for the writeup, I intend to do it. I noticed a couple new people with a couple new threads in the day or two after I started this thread. I think people even outside the community find it because the Mitsu section here comes up pretty high on google. I have been taking photos all along the way, keeping notes, and I will do a writeup. I also got 4 spare inserts with the kit and the tools are all still dangerously sharp so I plan to offer it up in the appropriate section. Basically I paid $115 plus shipping, so if someone else can use it (only someone with an M14 bolt, 1.5 thread pitch, 28mm thread depth can), I think it would be fair to get some of my money back and help them get it cheaper too. If they, like me, only need it for the crank bolt, they would have 3 inserts left and could sell it forward accordingly. Maybe 5 of us could all fix our stripped cranks for around $25 a piece in the end. As soon as I know it will hold, I will post up both threads.. if that's OK.
