Exhaust Sensor Thread Tap M16 x 1.5 with Guide Bolt

A sensor thread tap used to recut rusted or damaged exhaust probe threads where a temperature sensor needs to seat properly again. The short pattern body makes it more practical when access is restricted around the exhaust area, where space is often limited.

Used for exhaust repairs, sensor replacement and thread clean-up work, this tool helps when an exhaust temperature sensor, NOX sensor or particle filter probe will not screw in cleanly due to corrosion or thread damage. It suits workshop use, servicing and vehicle maintenance where restoring the existing thread is a more straightforward option before refitting or replacing the sensor. For garages dealing with repeated exhaust-related work, it is a useful tool to keep close to hand when awkward access and damaged threads slow the job down.

The M16 x 1.5 size is suited to the stated sensor thread applications, while the guide bolt helps keep the tap centred as you work. Six cutting edges support alignment during use, and the cleaning grooves in the guide bolt help clear contamination from the thread as the tap cuts. An external hexagon drive gives a solid way to apply turning force, which is helpful on stubborn or corroded threads. The short body is especially useful where there is not much room to turn the tool, helping make thread repair more manageable in confined exhaust areas. A practical choice for regular maintenance and repair work where damaged sensor threads need attention.
