Last weekend whilst replacing the alternator, I snapped one of the bolts in the engine case, my friend who was helping me thought it would be simple to remove but due to snapping on an angle the removal drill bit we used wouldn't bite. So we tried a helicoil, after trying 3 helicoils, I can't get even 6nm of torque before the helicoil loses grip. ON the other side of the cap the bolt snapped whilst loosening. And the threads aren't gripping the new bolt, I dont want to go try another helicoil, because that isnt working on the other side.
Any ideas other than me selling it for parts? I couldn't be assed at this point to buy a new engine case and replace everything into the new case
