There is a little bit of a distortion but I can live with it as a new piece was not an option @ $600!!

Ask a mod they can remove all your threads.....lol j/k

If it was me I would use some sort of sanding drum or hole saw with sand paper attached to drill out the threads. I was able to just drill it out on 1/2" stuff but have never tried it on the larger scale

I use my die grinder with a metal bur bit, zips them out in seconds just have to be careful not to go to far or it will be to big to fit the pipe.
