small 8mm bolt actually 2 of them holding a turbo oil tank. no real stress here. i have used timeserts and they have their place just not a good fit for this .

bottom tap arrived and did the trick. bolt goes all the way in now with no issues. thanks for the forum help

im aware i need sti taps. the tap that comes in the kit is tapered not a bottom tap .this hole is less than 10mm deep timesert is taller than the hole. unable to cut a timesert down so its not an option

well i wish i knew that before spending 35$ on new tap! well if the tap doesnt work ill grind one down

this is why i bought a maxjax. tired of laying on the floor! the only issue my lift experienced was crappy cheap hyd fittings. replaced them with some quality units no more leaks. i also lubricated the inside of the towers with some light grease and they slide much easier
