Flywheel/stripped bolts help!!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So my friend is a fucking idiot and over torqued my pressure plate onto my flywheel. 2-3 of the threads on the spec billet aluminum flywheel have been stripped. What can i do to fix this? Was gonna see if a machine shop could rethread them just a little bigger but would every thread need to be redrilled for balance?

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Tap and die set is a good tool to have.

Try to tap it, or take it to a professional....

Can I tap it to the same thread pitch?

You'll probably need to Heli-Coil it.
