I just got back in town to find the 14Mx2 tap had arrived from Amazon. I used a little cutting oil and the socket was back to normal.
I tried to install the CB005 with the steeda alignment kit, but no go. The front inserts for the steeda kit were too long and preventing the BMR front pieces...
Currently if I try to hand thread the bolt in the socket (without the CB005 parts attached), the bolt turns freely for 3-4 turns just fine. At about the 4th turn, it stops completely. If I try pushing through with a wrench, it just produces some thread dust and doesn't progress into the socket...
