I very careful tapped both holes in my sealing block for the next bigger
size bolt. I meticulously got all the shavings out with Q-tips, grease on
the tap, etc. and pulled the tap out several times to clean the holes out.
Worked for me...and lots less stuff to take off including those clever wood
chips used to seal the sealing block.
