ive got a bent screw. the threads on it are bent from the bottom by about 10-15 degrees from straight.
ive pm'ed Gabe, but my question is what would you do?

It's the stud thats bent, if you don't want to return it, you can run a nut down to the bent part and straiten it with pliers (hold the nut with pliers to bend it).

If the nut threads on smoothly you're good to go. :up:
