> yeah a pic can help. If there is enough metal to helicoil it I am sure it will be fine. Just used red loctite for the coil into the caliper, that will seal it and hold it perminatly. Pluss the steel helicoil will give you a better grip on the bolt/line your going to install after the fix.

Do I have to tap threads to put the helicoil in? I never used helicoil before, I never liked the idea of it, doesn’t seem strong enough. But in this case it might be okay.
