Review on Top-Quality M15 x 1.5MM Oil Drain Plug Tap Thread Repair Kit: Essential Rethreading Tool for Oil Pan Screws by Jose Mcdaniel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

That's great! on oil drain plugs

First of all, this kit is awesome and amazing. So I read some of the reviews which made me a bit skeptical about my purchase but I know what they could have done wrong. One reviewer mentioned that there wasn't enough space, so they took their car to a garage to have it fixed. Here's what I did: 1. Drained the oil when the engine was cold. (Trust me, it's better that you don't accidentally burn yourself on the exhaust pipe.) 2. I used my Milwaukee 3/8 ratchet with an 11mm 12 point head and the tap went in just fine. (You can use any type of ratchet, but that's what I have.) I guess it would be difficult to turn a real ratchet in that small space, so a power ratchet helped me. 3. Used a magnet shaped like an antenna to remove chips.4. Used a quart of cheap oil to run over the top of the motor and into the drain pan. Tightened the new screw. I didn't use a specific torque, I used it very carefully. So far it hasn't leaked. It should be noted that you need to buy kitty litter or drying oil first as this will make a mess. Even though most of the oil has gone into the drip pan, it's still dripping while you're using this set. I hope this kit helps you as much as it did me!
