A buddy of mine decided to put a breaker bar on my drain plug in an effort to tighten it..........BIG MISTAKE. Anyway, I bought the correct size Heli Coil kit. M12-1.50.
I didn't have the drill bit, so I just went straight to tapping it out. I inserted the die with the tool and broke the tang off, I DID GET IT OUT of the oil pan. When I put the plug back in, it got pretty snug, but just kept spinning. It is fairly tight, it will more than likely keep the bike from leaking oil. What could have caused this? The insert went in just fine and felt great. Everything was great until I put the bolt in. If the insert was put in wrong by me, how can I remove it to do it the right way?
