So the right side bolt hole in the block for my intermediate shaft is mostly stripped out to where I can thread the bolt in but can't really tighten it. I have had it bandaided for a few months by loctiting it to keep it in there and secure. I need to replace the bearing on the intermediate shaft bracket and having to take that bolt out 2-3 times these past months I know im about out of luck as far as having that bolt hold.
My question is has anyone ever tried or know if it's possible to fix the threads with the engine still in the car. If so what do you think is the best route to take. Try and run a m10x1.25 tap in it and see if it will fix the threads or am I going to have to drill it and put a insert or go a size bigger.
