(04-23-2017, 10:32 PM)OM616 I had to change my oil cooler lines and of course the cooler threads stayed in the nut on one of the fittings.
This is how I fixed it.. I cut off the striped threads and machined it flat. Then taped it with a 5/8-11 tap. Then I made a brass male to male adapter with a class 3, 5/8-11 thread on one end and a M22X1.5 thread on the other.
I hate to tell you this now but Mercedes already has this as a solution. Drill 21/32 for a M18 x 1.50mm tap. Tap the hole and use MBZ p/n 915013-013002 thread replacement adaptor.
$5 each from the dealer.
