Brakes and what PO did!

Why two weeks for timeserts? They strap them on the back of an ass? I would wait if I had it all apart and had a second car to use, why chew the hole up even further with a heliocoil? Sure timeserts will give you nice fresh threads but to work perfectly they need precise execution in preparation, the hole for the timesert has to be perpendicular and as square as possible, think of yourself as a human drill press when you are doing it.

Heli-coil will be for a quick fix if I absolutely cannot wait for the Time-sert kit to come in. 2 week ship time is because its a decent solid from my buddy Ryan back in Everett Washington. It's a full metric kit with 5 of each size up to 30mm inserts. He has to finish up the job on his Legacy and doesn't want to split up the kit. I already gave him the "you don't need to send me everything" argument, but $20.00 in shipping, vice $90.00 for a single size kit? I guess I can wait. I sent him the "putting it on an ass" comment and he got a kick out of it.
