if you've screwed it in any distance at an angle, the threads will be off by that angle. That's what I did, and I had to get bikefix to re-chase the threads. Pain in the bum. Each time you try, it ends up at an angle, that's you cutting new threads!
BBs should go in by hand, all the way, with a bit of tightening up with BB tool at the very end. Plenty of grease is good.
