So was doing gimbal bearing and bellows and when putting the housing back on noticed one pivot bolt would go in but the other wouldn’t. Did an inspection and found the first couple threads parts of it are gone in the housing.

Think using a heli coil would work and if so what the thread size is? Rather see if I can save it before buying a new housing. Everytime I look it up different sizes come up
