Something shitty happened tonight when I was installing one of my woodcraft case covers.
I set my torque wrench to the specified torque and went to tighten one of the bolts that holds the case cover on. Almost right away a hear a little snap... note that the torque wrench hadn't yet clicked to say that it was at the required torque. Now turning the bolt it just spins. I pull the bolt out and the threads are full of metal. WTF?!?!
I'm fuckin' pissed. So... can I just fill the hole in the block with JB weld, drill a pilot hole, and then tap it and try again? Does it matter that the block is aluminum (I think)?
Or will the case cover not leak if only one bolt is like this?
Furthermore, does anyone have a metric tap/die set I can borrow?
