I have two exhaust studs that need to be replaced. I have two 10mmx8mm studs that I want to use. What size drill bit do I need? I take it something slightly less than 1mm? Any "been there, done that" experiences one would like to share regarding this subject?

i'll procrastinate a bit and respond...
1) the M10 tap package will probably have the reccomended drill bit size. smaller is safer at first. 2) wear safety goggles 3) drill straight, tap straight. 4) go slow, back it out every few turns to let out the shavings 5) seriously, tap straight 6) avoid crooked studs by making sure you tap straight! as you may have suspected, i didn't tap straight. crooked stud. not fun. it's easy, though. just don't screw up. |
