Thanks Shane55113 for the post...

Update: Had the day off today so I went to the Grainger store 35 minutes away and picked up the kit (not Cheap $85.00). Comes with everything though and numerous lengths of M12 thread inserts. Unfortunately this thread repair will have to wait till winter. The a/c compressor is not what's in the way, it's the frame. Any drill with a big enough size of chuck to handle this bit size is just too big & long of a drill. I hate 1/2 assing stuff but this will have to be 1/2 assed until November. Tomorrow morning she's getting locktite red 272. I'm gonna crank it till the point where I feel it won't tighten anymore without make the threads worse and subconsiously forget about it until winter when i pull the tranny. At least I have the kit for when the time comes.
