I have new zerk fittings for my Elephant poly bronze rear bushings. They have upgraded the size from M5 .8 threads to a M6 .75. They had issues with them sheering off....like me. What size drill do I use? Or should I just use my new HF tap in the existing threaded hole? I have a drill bit spec for a M6 1.00 thread of 13/64. Is that the same size for M6 .75?

Cool, 5.24 mm, or that table from texachusetts says 5.25mm. Don't know what a #4 is but 5.25mm=.20669 3/16=.186 on my calipers and 13/16=.217 on my calipers. So smaller is better in this case, but is this too small for my HF tap?
