I've used helicoils in this application with no problems and yes they can be
installed in just a few minutes with the trailing arm on the vehicle.

Subject: Stripped threads in trailing arms
My TR4A has some stripped threads where the hub attachment studs enter the
trailing arms. I felt okay when it was only one stud, but now that the
number
is up to 3, I figured I better do something. I have on hand a thread repair
kit that's some sort of compound that gets squirted into the stud hole.
I've
never used this product before, or helicoils for that matter. What's the
best
route? And can the operation be done without removing the trailing arm from
the car?
