Mike,

The spring tensioner can be removed to fix the stripped thread. Use caution and do not go to deep if you drill.



Use a quality thread repair product---A thread insert should work.

The nut is tightened to 20Nm or 15 Ft lbs.

Optional (best)

++ TIME-SERT Threaded inserts for stripped threads, threaded inserts, thread repair stripped sparkplug's, Ford sparkplug blowouts, threaded inserts threaded, repair stripped threads, stripped threads, inserts threaded inserts, Ford spark plug repair,

GL
John
