Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a replacement insert, which may be used for replacing stripped threads and providing the new smooth surface for a washer/gasket on component, such as for a vehicle. The insert has an inner and outer threaded surface, and the inner threads are merely partially formed in the inner cavity of the insert, leaving an unthreaded surface proximate the end of the insert. The insert has a shoulder with a greater diameter than the hole into which it is inserted, to stop further insertion. The insert can be threaded into the hole using the thread chaser bit screwed insert, and continued rotation of the chaser past a thread stop can form remaining threads, allowing for application of torque to install the insert in the component.
