I need to repair my rear hub (AC air cooler) on my DH bike. I was told to use a Heli-coil(sp?) and it is as strong or stronger than the original.
Can anyone explain to me exacty how they work?
The full process of installing them?
What to be carefull of?
Other options?
I pretty much am doing all of them......so I want to do it right. What gets me is that they have those annoying Torx heads and I tightened them with Screwdriver (with a Torx bit) and they all stripped(well most) I have been wrenching for a long time but they seemed to tear thru like butter. It was a used DH bike so they might have been damaged somewhat before I received it. Either way looking for a way to fix it right.
Your help will be appreciated.
