Message: [QUOTE="jsantapau, post: 1370309, member: 99193"] splitting hairs here but the key way is more of a locating point than a fixture.....the nut holding the tension against the tapered fit is what keeps it there..but as you say if you can clean the threads and the nut will tighten properly you should be fine by looking at those pictures it is possible some body tried to force that 3/8 nut on their besides the hammering and beating I think I would start with a thread file.. starting at the good threads and working my out compared to running a die down that mess and hoping to match up to the original threads [/QUOTE]
