Thread Inserts - unscrewing
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution, not being able to torque up a thread insert (helicoil.vcoil etc) past about 20 Nm? The insert just winds up the bolt threads.

when you screw in the helicoil use a little loctite ( high strength)let it set,then this prevent the helicoil from screwing back up the bolt when you tighten up bolt
