Perhaps a gentle squeezing on the two opposite sides across the circle at 90º to the crush might cure the tendency to cross thread. The circle may still be slightly egg shaped still despite you pushing out the bruised rim. This thread is 0.7mm I think, that means a thread depth of about 0.5mm, which is not a lot.

I also read that report , which did make me hesitate on the purchase initially , but finding it available on Amazon at that price was the deciding factor , I also watched the video on u.tube that advocates going in from either side which I did, once it had got over that and moving fairly easily slightly backed off ,I then applied pressure to the actual curve /dent . The end result is what matters though ... I can now fit the lens cap securely , a filter will screw on and off easily .. it's had a bonus that the job appears to have unlocked the functionality of the lens allowing it to zoom in and out on the camera motor where it was jammed tight before and had to be forced manually . And it doesn't appear to have affected the focus at all .. it was still a sweat over job though in case it didn't work out . The only thing holding me back at the moment is my own lack of mobility and weakness after the heart attack.. BTW I was quoted between £85 and £120 to repair this lens so it's definetly a win win for £23

BTW and just for the record ,I did two full years at college training for turning and milling .. back in the 80's which I unfortunately never took up as a trade ,as a business proposition was put to me which was far more profitable ..I also worked for m.g.m back in the 60's as a special effects man ,working on 2001 ,and the dirty dozen at elstree studios , so I do know my way round a lot of problems
