I had an issue with a stripped thread. I bought a helicoil kit, but wasn't able to drill out from under the car directly down the original. Really need a drill jig.

I got a replacement trailing arm and refurbished off the car in the end.
thanks typhoon190.trikey agrees with you with that size but he will double check for me tomorrow. i dont forsee a problem but thought it a good idea to run a tap through first beforehand. dont fancy your last episode in the middle of a rear end job. i will go gingerly after a tapping and plenty coppaslip i think......
