Oil Filter Housing Thread damaged

[nightrider899]

Hey everyone,

I just did an oil change on my 899 Panigale, and when tightening the M6 bolt on the oil filter housing, I noticed that I couldn’t torque it properly to 13 Nm. At some point, it just kept spinning freely.

I carefully removed the bolt, and a part of the thread came out with it, as you can see in the attached picture.

Now, I need specific solutions to fix this issue and restore the original M6 thread size. What’s the best approach?

Thanks in advance!

Time-sert or heli-coil.

Easy to fix. Not a difficult repair at all.

Looks like you pulled the helicoil out. Previous owner probably over torqued it

It’s probably just the threads. I never saw a coil pull out. I suppose maybe if the hole was drilled too large it could come out, you’d have to be pretty oversized though.
