Same here but had to re-tap both the 10mm and 12mm threads. Just uncomfortable, and took some time. I was pleased the cheap ($20 NZD) tap and die set had the correct pitch of threads!I had the same issue when I installed my MetalCloak diff skids. Pulled the plastic plugs, threads were full of mud and surface rust. Had to tap the threads, 10x1.5, because the bolts just wouldn’t make it past the second or third thread All while laying on my back under the truck with not much workspace. Not too comfy, but got it done in about 5min and the plates bolted on no problem.
