Stripped upper drain plug on Alpha Gen II
A buddy of mine just had his drives serviced and they said he has a bad upper drain plug on one of the drives. It won't tighten down...threads are stripped.
Any suggestions besides replacing the whole upper housing?
Ever re-tap and/or use helicoil? What should he watch out for?
Thanks All!

they make threaded inserts that work. the outside can be the next size up or the one after that as well. i found them at msc industial supply before. they may help. got nothing to loose.
