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!
Great to hear!
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.
Did this work for you?
Cool. Thanks for this upload, great instructions.

Great video, super informative, loved it!!!!
Very informative! Much appreciated
Great and informative with no BS. Thanks. You could teach many folks how to make a DIY video :>)
Thank you
Text book example!!
Appreciate it!
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?
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.
Good demo
Great video.
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...
In another RUclips video a guy did this with JB and it worked pretty well. But, what he learned was that car wax was a better release agent than oil, grease or WD40..... I think wax "contaminates" the JB less than other release agents, allowing for proper cure. Search RUclips for JB thread repair. Also, those are bling holes he's repairing. If you have excess material in the hole, it can crack the case when torqued...... just watched a video on that. $0.02.
With japanese bikes you dont need
So many bandaids
Just change oil and ride
Thanks. Imma try this on a stripped caliper bolt hole.
What were the outcomes when using this repair kit?
@@eddyboh2723 Thanks for asking! It worked great. I had to be careful to keep the epoxy from squishing out the back and getting onto my wheel etc. I let it sit in there for a few hours, and then gently tapped it loose and removed the bolt. I wanted a few days for good measure, and then reinstalled my brakes. I used red loctite on it when reinstalling. I've done 500 or so miles on it, and it's staying nicely tight.
Thanks!
Looks like a good product
This is craaaaazy!!!! Wow!!!!!
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?
Did you try it? I stripped out the bolt for the timing chain idler sprocket on my 2000 Nissan Frontier 2.4 L . Please let me know.

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
In a van ! Down by the river !
is that where "I shot my lady" ruclips.net/video/Up0dI-QpqF8/видео.html
or where Chris Farley lived our your current set-up?
I stripped the threads where the bolt for the starter ground goes on my Harley Road King while putting in a new mount for the pipes. Would you recommend this to fix? Thanks
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?
Wouldn't JB weld do the same thing?
Could you do this for plastic screw holes
From Loctite's Application sheet: 2-part dimethacrylate ester repair kit with a 1-part release agent which is used for repairing stripped threaded assemblies in a variety of metals and wood.
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?
Always, Bob did a little pre prep.
Helicoil Repair kit would have been the better option!
Only if its not a servicable bolt
Would you recommend this for a Softail Slim 2014 transmission plug?
The transmission drain plug will need to be removed and reinstalled numerous times throughout the life time of the motorcycle. The thread repair kit is better for something that is to be permanently fastened.
We would recommend trying an over-size drain plug. Take your transmission drain plug to your local auto parts store. Have them find you an over-size, self tapping, drain plug that is slightly larger. It can even be a metric size.

@@FixMyHogfreechannel thanks for your suggestion sounds like the best idea.
How will this fix effect the bolts torque values?
Says up to 128 lbs torque👍
@@kirbytabor9956 Thanks
@@donklaing hey it didn’t work the first time-i had to clean bolt first, Drill hole out bigger(must need a lot of thread area)apply very thin layer of non stick👍Another trick is …
I stripped threads in block at bottom of hole but still had 5 good threads at beginning of hole, put a stack of lock washers on, it easily hit 60 ft lbs of torque, been there 5 yrs now👍
Could these work on a small engine spark plug hole that got stripped?
Not the right application
nice chemistry class
Will this work on carburetor bowl screws?
We have not tired.
Does this work on plastic threads on a intake manifold?
Check Loctite tech specs, we have not tried on plastic
We’re I get that from
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

I would clean the treads with a thread tap of the proper size then apply this product.

.....could you use this on good threads to 'toughen' them (aluminum).for more permanent service ? .......

@@miked4079 depends on what you will use , I use bison metal epoxy and it holds up to 220 kg/cm²
@@miked4079 I know this is old but I just lost respect for this channel completely trying to sell you a fucking membership instead of answering your very simple question. They could've at least answered you first considering they're making money from RUclips by you being here in the first place. That's some scumbag shit at its best.
the package looks like it says 128ft lbs of torque
Will this work on plastic

Wouldn't you also apply the epoxy to the inside hole to ensure most isnt just wiped off the bolt as its being screwed back in ?
Better yet, there was plenty of room left to go with the next size larger bolt and and use a tap spread of a hole. That would be the best solution when there's plenty of room and material left
Good to have options, thank you for the comment.
Probably decent for a fastener that doesn't need to be too strong otherwise I'll take a Helicoil all day
Did no show all the process. The final results
Yep! Did not show and tell !!!. Uninformative . Did not show tightening of the bolts, also did not torque to specification. Maybe big Locktie corporation scam , marketing and advertising ! 😠
wat, you think I'm funny ? funny like a f..in clown. somehow I dont wanna disagree with anything this guy says..LOL
