Hello: In my attempt to re-install engine/trans I managed to strip 1 of the longer remote housing threads. Both of the shorter engine side bolts line up and engage fine but the rear longer bolts are on a bind. Heli coiled the stripped housing, now stripped one of the bolts!
Prior to this installed new Mini Spares motor mounts as well as a new mount at the tail of the remote housing. Left all mounts loose as well as dogbone and used a floor jack to mate the remote housing to the differential housing.
Only thoughts I have now is to remove the heli coil which will be a treat and assemble everything then "line bore" with a drill and re-thread.

I'm trying to understand what your problem is here.....normally I find the remotes just slip right into place, are you sure you have the fork lined up properly on the ball when you're raising it up? It's so light I don't know why you would have to use a jack to put it in?
Dave thanks.
I suppose I used the jack as I kept wrestling with the housing in an attempt to figure out what was going on. It is in place with the fork/ball arrangement as I installed the gearstick to make sure it would work. Definitely has me stumped as to why one side bolted up fine but the other side has so much resistance.
