路SO I have this bushing (see the top most screw in the image, other side is circled).
I tried to loosen the screw, and am about 90% sure it was cross threaded or something, so the screw wouldn't come out but would free-spin (though was pretty tight). I ended up being able to tap the screw out the other side after spinning it a bunch, as it never caught in the bushing.
SO, I have it disassembled, but the part on the movement obviously has no threads left.
I was wondering if there is the equivalent of a heli-coil for something like this? Alternatively, where I could get a replacement, and how to tap it out? It seems too small for any of my tools on my jewel press or seitz tool (though I guess I could turn something?).
What is the method of repair on one of these?
MOVEMENT is an Omega 980, so not something cheap to get a replacement plate for.
