well thanks guys but i found a kit at napa. it was $57 but i got a discount for $45. thanks for the help.
haha...I once spent a lot of money on a helicoil kit, and then managed to break both of the plastic tools they gave me. Now I just go buy the inserts and the proper tap size...then you take an old screw driver and a cut off wheel and put a little notch in the tip voila...a lil grease and they slide right in!
I found it a waste of time trying to use that "tool". One of the helicoils actually got stuck in the outer section. I found it teasier to only use the inner section of the tool (the threaded plastic rod) to install the helicoil. Also the "helicoil super secret unmarked tap" included in the kit is in reality an M12x1.25.
