Well I finally got the jam nut to back away a little. I had to heat it up. Little victory.
I was hoping now the TRE would actually spin off easily.
No such luck with me it's on pretty tight. I tried a little heat, but nothing moved.
With the jam nut backed away I think the PB Blaster can get in there and help.
So it's soaking for the night.
Rather than making new posts I am editing this one.
Saturday finally got the TRE off. Not sure why it came off so difficult the threads look fine.
Jam nut not cooperating. Trying to get it completely off so I can run a die up the threads to clean them up. Letting it sit for the night after spraying with PB Blaster.
