[Elecraft] K2 Antenna Nut: It can't be this hard

[Oscar F Hills]

Same exact problem here too. I tried, gently, this and that, and then  
everything. Eventually, in spite of careful efforts, I had kind of  
stripped the first few threads. I finally just wound it on there,  
making some "new " threads. Wish I had tried a different nut, but I  
didn't think of it. There is obviously a problem with some of the  
nuts, and I will be wanting to replace the whole jack at some point  
when all my options are installed and all is well.  Just for  
completeness' sake.
