Loctite Stripped Thread Repair Tip | Fix My Hog

Bob LaRosa gives us a demonstration on stripped thread repair. Form A Thread from Loctite makes it an easy fix. When an expensive component has a stripped thread there is no need to run out and get a new one. Loctite has a great product to make the repair and keep that component in service. Expensive or not, why replace when you can repair?

Thanks for taking time to make this video!

I've been using this stuff for years, clean the bolt hole well and follow directions and it works great! Thanks for the video!

5:15 prior to installing the fastener would it be a a good idea to protect the mating surfaces with some sort.of masking tape around the hole? I really rather not get any of that stuff on there.

Thank you. I will try this (now that I spent $80 on a tap-and-die kit at Harblor Freight). I knew there had to be an easier way.

Great video. I repaired a stripped thread using this product (valve cover bolt hole on a Toro zero turn mower). The seal was good...no more leak. I marked the bolt head position with a paint pen so as not to over tighten in the future, if the bolt became loose. To my surprise the bolt is continuing to self tighten. After each use of the mower the bolt position has moved clockwise, tightening itself. I guess this is harmless, but I am baffled. What is causing this?

Great and informative with no BS. Thanks. You could teach many folks how to make a DIY video :>)

[perryjones]

been nice to have seen you finish the demonstration (e.g. unscrew and rescrew new bolt) I guess I will try this with JB Weld and some type of oil...

[davemacintosh]

Wouldn't JB weld do the same thing?

Great video, super informative, loved it!!!!

Great video! I believe I have a stripped internal thread (female) on my Audi oil pan/sump. The pan is cast aluminium and the oil plug is 19mm stainless steel - apparently this is a common problem with the hard plug and the softer pan! I'm assuming this would be an ideal solution here with the Loctite Form A Thread? Might even replace the stainless plug with a Fumoto valve?

[davidschmidt]

Good vid, but shouldn't the bolt hole be cleaned before inserting the bolt? Maybe a blast of some spray degreaser-type stuff, both to cut any grease or dirt, and to blow out any tiny metal particles?

can i use this product on a stripped thread of a plastic intake manifold and hold like 62 inch lbs torque ??? pls thank you in advance sr

Hello i had An quastion my bolt is like the one in the middle the place where schew on the screw is the stripped part should i put the repair kit on the bolt part the small bolt or the place you screw it on the long part. Sorry for my bad english thank you for youre anser helpfull video.

[Twin_solo_az]

Maybe a dumb question, but if the bolt slides out because it is stripped, why do you have to screw it in after the epoxy is applied?

[donklaing]

How will this fix effect the bolts torque values?

[nicholasbero]

Helicoil Repair kit would have been the better option!

[jacobkleintank]

This is probably a stupid question but the hole I'm trying to screw the bolt into is stripped and I'm only able to screw it in so far. How am I supposed to screw the bolt into the hole if it is stripped? Should I just force it in and use the solution to create new threads? Thank you
