GARDPDX

Gardserts are to be considered a permanent repair of damaged threads without pull-out or wear-out. They are self-tapping and require no special tools. Gardserts are made of Steel or Stainless Steel.                            

1)  Drill out damaged threads 

2) Turn hex nut onto cap screw, follow by threading the GARDSERT onto the cap screw, and be  sure to keep the cutting holes open. 

3) Carefully align the GARDSERT to the hole and turn inot the hole clockwise using a wrench on the hex nut. Bottom out assumbly on the work piece. Hold the cap screw and loosen the hex nut, turning counter-clockwise.  You now have a completely threaded hole and a solid repair.
