[DML] Dye Tapping the timing Cover....Help :)

["Mike" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I need to retap the lower AC belt / pulley arrangement, the threads 
on the lower 7mm hole are stripped and hence as i cant tighten this 
enough i have a slight weep from the blanking plate / gasket behind.

I have never retapped a hole and whilst i have purchased a new tap 
and dye set there are no instructions / advice on how to do this.?

Thinking of putting in a 8mm thread for a new bolt, will i need to 
redrill the hole or am i ok using the existing.......

Thanks All

Mike
