NegevLandRover Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Disco 2 TD5. The lower bolt between the transfer and gearbox will not tighten. I guess that the 'female' thread has gone as that is likely the softer side. There is a leak of transfer oil so needs to be sorted. Anyone got some ideas - thinking about using a slightly thicker (not longer as the cogs are on the other side) bolt. Can one place a helicoil without taking them apart ?

Adam I'd say yes, provided you can get in with a drill to resize the hole for the helicoil and you can get the tap to turn nicely square and lined up etc.. You will obviously be drilling through both pieces with the larger drill, but that shouldn't affect the alignment of things as the rest of the bolts will hold it in place.
