Should you pull an insert out of the bell housing on a trans R&R, this is how I fix them:
Parts:
1/2" drill bit
M14-1.5 tap
Tap handle
Chamfer tool
WD40
Hammer
KeyLock Thread insert kit - McMaster #90245A166 (comes with install tool and inserts)
Drill the hole out to 1/2"
Chamfer the hole about .03"
Spray WD-40 (or any oil) on the tap, then tap the hole M14-1.5
Clean out the hole
Screw in insert, prongs out, till below surface ~.03
Using tool in kit, slide tool over the prongs, then tap the end with a hammer to seat pins.
This kind of insert seldom if ever will pull out.
