This may help in getting it started -- instead of holding it in your hand, hold it in a socket of the right size -- I think 1" and 1/16?? That enables you to keep the rod perfectly horizontal, which is not easy by hand alone.
And if the nut is too loose in the socket, put some masking tape on the nut so that the socket fits more tightly. As soon as the nut begins to thread into the hole, take the tape off the nut.
Hope this helps!!
Is the way i do it and I occasionally "clean" the threads with the tap. ;)
Heyyy, as long as it works, then all is well! I must have been holding my mouth wrong or something!
