Can't believe I never stumbled across this site before.

Hi peeps!

I've just spent a couple weeks agonizing over what kind of tool I can make to get my car back on the road. One of you might have the answer!

I guess I have a history of making tools, the last of which was a metal fork made to compress a spring-tensioner piston for a VW Passat (which is not the car at issue today).

The helicoil conundrum? I think we can probably help with that.

Indeed! I've already gotten some good suggestions. I'll probably put a couple to the test this afternoon.
