So you agree with me, but you needed a channel
to vent your emotion? Not really what Ham Radio is
all about OM, more to be expected from a radio hobby
on 11m.

Do you wish to contribute to the discussion as a mature
Radio Ham and outline your procedure for the same
problem, or do you wish to be condemned forever
as a childish CBer sneering 'n' jeering from the sidelines?
Ok, as a straight answer, it was unwise to force the thread, but you knew
that already. If there was any foreign body to restrict the threads,
excessive force would only serve to damage the components. Such tactics
are
truly 'last resort' to get you home in an emergency. If you're sure the
threads are clean and compatable then the application of a lubricant may
help. I often find this with dissimilar metals, titanium being a major
culprit for 'grabbing' dry inserts.
