So.. I damaged my threads as well. The sub-assembly holes didn't line up perfectly with the threaded holes underneath the sheet metal. Even using small drill bits I managed to instantly damage the threads.

How did you solve this? I imagine the right way to do it is to use a tap of the correct size, but I'm not sure what that size would be. The bolt on the Toyota website doesn't mention the size. Does anyone know how to figure out what tap to use for a bolt of unknown dimensions?
