When you helicoil it make sure you drill it out nice and straight....take your time and do it right or you'll be buying new parts. It is not that hard just takes patience. Good luck.

Helicoil will also be stronger than stock. Really easy to install. As Chino says, keep it straight. Use a series of bits to get to the correct size. Then it will stay a straight hole more easily.
