[QUOTE="JuddL, post: 2633780, member: 110787"] ^^^ this, all of this. They’ll likely charge you less than the cost of the tap and you will need a tap to clean up the thread you tore. I tend to learn things the hard way myself…learned this exact lesson, tore about 1/2 thread. Fortunately, it cleaned up well and I didn’t ruin my action. Sucks, but you did well to stop and not force it. One thing you can try that likely won’t work but worth a try before you take it to someone…soak it in kroil for a week. If you can’t put fair amount of pressure on it and it not break loose…just take it in. [/QUOTE]
