No, this kit focuses on the repair process. You will need standard wrenches or sockets to remove the old drain plug before using the repair kit.
Ensure you are using the correct tap for the thread size. Apply cutting fluid or oil to lubricate the tap and the threads. Clear any debris from the tap flutes regularly.
Verify that the correct size tap and plug were used. Ensure the tap was used straight and to the correct depth. If the damage is too severe, the oil pan may require professional repair or replacement.
Ensure a new washer was used with the drain plug. Check that the drain plug is tightened to the correct torque specification. The damage may have been too severe for a simple thread repair.
