I was advised to not torque up to the full value as per workshop manual for exactly the reason you’ve discovered.

Thanks for your reply Fifth Horseman. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who's dealt with this. Another poor design on LR's part. I don't understand why they didn't at least put a steel threaded sleeve into the aluminum. Too expensive for bushings that will only need to be replaced outside of warranty I guess.

I should have known it was going to happen. At least I'll never have to worry about it again after I do the helicoils lol |

Unfortunately not, I'd use the standard torque figures without the additional rotation, maybe a bit of additional rotation depending on feel, the last thing you want to do is pull the insert out again. ISTR with the Landrover inserts it was all but impossible to do the additional tightening rotation specified. Be very careful you get the thread for the insert straight and true otherwise you'll be in an even worse position. |

Curious...What method did you use to do your repair? |
