Hi guys, Sorry to lean on you again but I got my TriGlide home and was going to do a simple swap to a shorter antenna. The one I used on my last TriGlide. I finally got the old one off by using a towel and vise grips for about 45 minutes. It was moving about a 16th per turn. Anyway I finally got it off and thought somebody must have use threadlocker on it. Then I proceeded to put the new one on and it's the same problem. Will only go on for about one turn then just locks up again. I looked at the threads on the stud and they don't appear to be crossthreaded but I can not get this thing on for anything. I wonder if anyone knows the exact thread size so I can go get a nut with the right thread and just use a ratchet and socket to clean it up all the way down. I tried with a dye but not sure of the thread size and also the dye hits the lip of the tourpak after one or two turns. Any help or ideas or prior experience with this situation would be greatly appreciated,
