HOW TO USE:

1. Safety First: Put on appropriate safety glasses to protect your eyes.
2. Prepare the Thread: Clean any loose debris or rust from the damaged internal thread.
3. Select the Correct Tap: Choose the thread restorer tap that matches the specific size and pitch of the damaged thread. Matching the size is crucial for effective repair.
4. Lubricate: Apply a small amount of light oil to the tap and the internal thread you are working on. This helps reduce friction and makes the process smoother.
5. Insert and Turn: Carefully insert the tap into the damaged thread. Use a suitable socket or wrench on the 6-point end of the tap. Slowly turn the tap clockwise, applying gentle, even pressure.
6. Clean as You Go: As you turn, the tap will re-form and clean the existing threads. Periodically back out the tap a quarter turn to clear any debris and then continue turning clockwise.
7. Test Fit: Once the tap moves freely through the thread, remove it. Test the repaired thread with a bolt of the corresponding size to ensure a smooth fit.
