Greetings friends I hope you are well, it is a pleasure to write again for you and receive your comments that help me a lot. Today came to the workshop a friend because to the workshop what come are friends 😝😝, the truth is that he came with a problem in the front axle of his car and when I checked is that he had a screw that holds a plate that holds the stabilizer bar of the train.
When I went to check the first thing I saw was that it was missing a screw so I went to look for one to mount it and when I'm adjusting the screw did not want to tighten so I took it out again and checked well and noticed that the base that holds the screw had no thread, so it was already damaged. To access I had to disassemble many things including the stabilizer bar to move the plate.
What I did was to look for a tap to make the thread again and look for a slightly larger screw, I used a 7/16 coarse thread tap and the new screw of the same size, at first it was a little complicated because I did not have enough space to do the job. Generally to make a new thread there is a kit of taps that bring the first step, then the second and finally the third step which is the one that opens the final thread, but in this case I did not have that kit of that size because I had only one pass and for a change it was already damaged so I had to give it very carefully so that I would not damage the new thread or the tap also because it is the only one I have of that size.
Thank God I was able to make the thread and it was very well, I put the new screw and adjusted very well, I had to put everything back together, it was a little cumbersome because the space was not much but I could still do it and put everything back together. After placing everything in its place, the train was tested and the noise was removed, so the customer friend was happy and I was very satisfied to see how to solve the problem.
Espero les guste muchachos.
I hope you guys like it.
