Loose / stripped handlebar bolt thread 562xp

[r1stgei]

Just noticed today the thread hole on the top wrap bar on the cylinder are fubarred... on my 562 .... I attached a photo. The bolt threads in but doesn’t tighten up snug. It just gets tight and then keeps spinning. While cutting today it came out.

Can I use a helicoil for this? Or is it caste and I can’t do that?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks guys

The bolt comes out of the spring.

It’s okay. I took off the handle. It’s an m5

With that mount you should be able to unscrew it from the plastic just like the old series saws.
