Changing a hydraulic hose on my deutz. Had to take one hose off to get at the troubled one. Putting it back on I cross threaded it.
Now I realized something was wrong, and only put 1/6 of a turn on it. Back up, and I had a fine metal filing on both sets of threads. Broke that off.
But it still won't go on. I can see one bump on the very start of the thread on the female part, maybe 15 thou across.
Can I just put a fine abrasive bit on my dremmel, and carve that away?
I can't feel anything on the male thread, but it's not where I can see more than half of it.
Ideas?
