Considering I torque every nut and bolt to spec I have not idea how it happened, but the threads on one of the three studs on the bottom of my fuel tank (that hold the fuel pump assembly in place) has boogered up threads. How the heck am I going to fix this??
I have a tap and die set and these studs appear to be 6mm, 1.0 pitch, however the threads don't seem to match up perfectly when I try to run the die over one of the good studs.
Despite that fact, the one that is messed up is the only one with part of the tank protruding next to it. My hex die doesn't have the clearance to spin.
Any suggestions???
