Default Need Help...Plug will not go into head

Ok, im down to my last plug on my plug change. The #1 (drivers side closet to you) will not thread completely in. It will turn a couple of turns and then it gives resistence. What gives? I really hope I didnt cross thread anything. Does this plug sit a little further out than the rest? Any hints?

Is it cross threaded?

I believe it was. I picked up a thread tool and recut some threads and its back into its place. it runs fine, so I think it will hold. Total pain in the ***. I hope nothing happens to it, I would hate to have to take off the hear - or worse - have to buy a new one.

Glad you got it - at least it was #1. You should be fine.
