Exhaust stud thread needs Helicoiling

[Etches]

One of my studs has pulled the thread out of the head (new studs) , looking at getting it helicoiled . What sort of tool do I need to sort the job? Has anyone done this before?

Any comments are appreciated.

Studs are M8 and one size Helicoil kits are cheap on e-bay. Straightforward job.
