If I remove a C-Sert, can I use it to repair another damaged hole?
Yes, you can. C-Serts are taps and can be reused, just like a tap.

Yes, you can. Just use the same hex installer, but turn it clockwise.
Friction, pure and simple. The C-Sert’s external tapping threads produce more friction than the fastener’s torque rating.
No. C-Serts cut their way in. They make a tight interference fit. So any thread locker would just get squeezed out as the C-Sert bores in.
No. C-Serts are self-tapping.
