Stripped front engine mount bracket thread

So I thought I was in the clear when I managed to put a nut on the stripped thread on the base of the front mount. Little did I know one of the threads to the bracket on top of the same mount was also stripped. Any easy ways to fix this or do I have to get some type of heilcoil?


It's # 22 on the chart ( BOLT, FLANGE (10X35) 90165-SL0-000 )

IIRC two of them thread into the block, and one threads into the transmission.

Either way, I would try to clean up the threads and, if it can hold at least some torque, put some thread lock and use ~20ft-lbs.

So one of the 3 bolts that go into the engine/trans is stripped out? I would do what karanax mentioned. The best thing would be to get a tap and try to retap it to clean the threads and see if you can get it to bite. If not i would get a slightly larger tap and rethread it and get a new bolt to match.
