M14x1.25 Thread Repair Kit
The Helicoil 5408-14 kit provides 18 stainless steel inserts to restore damaged M14x1.25 threads in metal components. It suits mechanics and DIYers who need a reliable Sav-a-Thread solution for stripped or worn fasteners.
Simple Installation With Included Tools
A high-speed steel piloted tap and installation tool are supplied so you can cut new threads and fit inserts in one workflow. The main risk is cross-threading the tap if the hole is not started squarely; use steady pressure and cutting fluid to avoid this.
Verify Thread Pitch And Material First
Confirm the existing hole uses a 1.25 mm pitch and that the base metal is compatible with stainless steel inserts. The kit only addresses M14x1.25 threads; other diameters or pitches require a different set.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the M14x1.25 inserts are seated correctly after installation?
The high-speed steel piloted tap aligns the hole, and the installation tool drives each insert to the proper depth; when the insert sits flush with the surface and the bolt threads engage smoothly through all 18 inserts, the repair is sound.
What comes in the 18-piece kit and what must I supply separately?
The box contains 18 stainless-steel inserts in short, normal and long reaches, one piloted tap and one installation tool; you will need a suitable drill bit for the tap drill size and a wrench or socket to turn the tap.
Which reach length — short, normal or long — should I select for my M14x1.25 repair?
Choose short for thin-walled sections, normal for standard-depth holes and long when extra thread engagement is required; the kit includes all three so you can match the reach to the specific component thickness.
