Changed my oil. One of the oil pan bolts doesnt tighten real tight.
The threads on the bolt are fine.
Sooo, I presume my threads are. messed up in the pan.
Any suggestions what I can do to fix it?
Thanks for you help!

I can tell you Torque should be 29-33 ft lbs. No mention in repair manual of bolt size. Part number is 6697072.

Boy I hate these metric thread sizes.
And I forgot Bobcat part #'s, are hard to track down.
Thanks for the responses!

The helicoil sounds like a good start!
And Winston I need to remember the torque specs!
