if some of the thread is damaged on the bb casing you may need to get the threads recut. i tried to recut them myself using the new bb and just stripped it (inexperience and stupidity combined). there's tools to do this but can quite expensive. bike shops generally charge 10 to 15 squids to do it for you. ask about.

damn! wish i found this sooner. ended up knackering my bb thread trying to file bits out for the same reason, thought id properly messed up. luckily the guys at harry perry recut my threads and fitted the new sealed casing for not much, plus we had a good laugh and a cup of tea.
