Hi Stephen
Your last comment very apt, but nothing mystical involved. Just a need for patirnce and good mechanical observation and practice. My father was a plumber by trade and in his day had only Newnes books in the library to guide but very successfully managed diff, gearbox, engine bearing replacements with no butchered parts or threads or broken crankcase lip. If damaged "repair" of the rh thread in place may be practicable....esp if you have a good spare for next time.
