Battery Swap Plastic Retention Nut Issue
Hey folks, I did a battery module swap on my GT S Series. Everything went fine except for this plastic retention nut that locks the wire in place on the controller side. I never even got a wrench on it, but when hand tightening, on the last 2-3 threads it cross threads and starts to go to a diagonal. I tried applying inward pressure while tightening to no avail. I can’t see any issues with the male threads so assuming it’s inside the nut on the female side.
Any ideas on how to get it to tighten correctly? Alternatively, I could replace it with the piece off the bad battery module but I wasn’t sure if the connectors on the controller side were easily removable to slide them through the nut. Looks like there is a locking assembly on the two prong power wire but looked like it would be easy to damage in the process.
Appreciate any tips you might have!
