Bar Studs Stripped Out Of Case......How To Fix

[Mastermind]

The victim is a J'Red 2095. The studs stripped out in the case, and someone attempted to fix it, so it is already oversize.

Thanks to AS member Spike60........I have a set of OEM bar studs.

How did they try to fix it? Just a plain helicoil ?

I'm not sure........when it arrived here the studs were not in it......just those big tapped holes. And.......they were crooked.

I'm using some 5/8" X 18tpi X 1" bolts to make bushings for it.



I just found the right size collet....

Parted off the heads, and got a center.....





Then drilled thru.

Tapped the bushing for the studs.........(10 X 1.5MM)

This chap has taught more than one gentlemen the the fine art of tapping a perfect hole.

Now to get the holes in the case straight, and tapped.

Setting up the case on the drill press square with the chuck was a little tricky........but we got it.





Then I used the drill press to tap the case..........I just turned the chuck by hand. Helps keep everything square and straight.

BOOM.

Now we are about done.......

BUT.......

First, clean all the threads with carb cleaner, or brake parts cleaner, then coat with high strength Loctite.

This little set of tools is a must have. I have this thanks to my friend @glock37.





And done.......

That is a great job! Very professional, you should look into doing work like that for a living.

Just pick your bolts carefully, some get real hard to run a tap in. You can buy all sizes and thickness of inserts also if you don't have a lathe handy.

Nice! My family wonders where I get my crazy ideas for how to fix things...

Nice thread here. I find the taps have a centering dimple on the end near the square. Using the tailstock and a center of some sort I have tapped similar holes with the tap held square and eliminating the step with the soft metal blocks in the vice. Sort of similar to the other taping operation in the drill press/vertical mill which a center could be used in a sort of similar fashion.

Not sure about the stud extractor reference is that grabbing the stud inside the socket picture in post #13

Looks like a well designed reinforcing webs and thickness around the original threaded hole in the picture from the non bar side. Not sure if that is better than brand x or not. The front to back contact area for the bar seems kind of minimal doesn't it?

I didn't like the idea of maybe slipping the part inside my collet. I like my collets........a lot.

The stud extractor can be used as a stud installer too.
