If you use a tap to put in a Helicoil, coat the flutes of the tap with wheel bearing grease and go very slow. The grease will catch the aluminum pieces and the won't fall in the pan. Other than that, pull the timing cover and Helicoil it.

If you are going to the trouble removing the cover (that is what I would do) then just get another one. They should be cheap, around $10 - $30.00, used. Just make sure the timing marks are the same as the one you are replacing. Sometimes, retaping and replacing a old bolt with a new one will work. An old bolt may have thread damage from other use in the pass.
