Folks

I just removed my wings for painting only to find I badly galled/stripped the aluminum threads on the spar side. I am not sure what my options perhaps helicoils but how to drill the hole perfectly straight and are they strong enough. Any advice here would be very welcome. I am in somewhat of a desperate situation not knowing if I can safely rectify this problem.

Thanks

Tom
