Splittin Cases.

[streetshee]

i got a friend that stripped the thread in the oil drain hole,my question is can i remove everything from the left and right side of motor,turn it upside down and remove the bottom case,cos im gonna sort it with a helicoil thread insert,i think it must be split otherwise ill have alu parts inside gearbox,or has anybody got any other ideas on how to sort it out? i thought about doing it carefully from underneath the motor (in quad) with grease on the thread cutter so it catches the bits and then filling the box up completely with oil,and let it out so it washes the small alu parts out that may be in gearbox,but theres no garrantee they will all come out? anybody any other thoughts? seeya.

I have retapped oil drain holes before while motor was still in the quad. The aluminum taps very easy and you shouldn't have any problem getting all the chips out. Just get the next larger size tap, sometimes you also need the recommended tap drill to slightly enlarge the hole. Make sure you keep it perpendicular to the case so it will seal correctly. Then just pour some tranny fluid/oil thru to clean it out.
