Stripped threads on VP stern drive drain.

In the Time-Sert installation video the insertion tool looks like it may extend well into the gear case.

Will there be enough clearance inside for it to do the job or will the case need to be emptied of its internal parts first?

Dam I hope not but I think you only need to run the insertion tool just far enough to expand the threads on the end of the insert so the tool would only need to go slightly past the insert. Soon as I get decent weather I'll give an update.
