the bolt goes in by hand for 1 or 2 turns, and an other 3 turns with out much effort with a wrench, then just stops and appears to damage the threads on the bolt at that point...
I know Tom B has the correct tap (i bought it for him when we were working on my STI) but he hasn't been responding to texts. anyone else happen to have that Tap?
Hopefully i can just re-tap it. if its a worst case scenario would it be best to drill out the hole enough to weld in a long nut , or even a blank tube that i tap out ahead of time? (hopefully its not that bad)
and good to know, no more impact wrench on re-assemblies, think i did that to the other side.
