This task is the perfect storm of an awkward position, fine threads, and a large diameter topped with a thin coating of grease. It is far too easy to cross-thread the cup while struggling to hang onto it.
Here is a trick that made the job easy.
Your comments are welcome. All of us are smarter than any one of us.
Thanks,
Rick
I agree those fine threaded bearing nuts can be royal pain, I've used your solution before, and it works like a charm.
