I have that same kit and was one of the unlucky ones to have the threads, gaul, the first time I tried to remove it.

Yes, I even used the small amount anti size and it went on smooth as silk.

I ended up getting a new baldwin base.

Then I machined the threads off drilled and tap it for a new steel spud I got off the internet.

No issues since.

There is a lot of great info here on alt filters thanks for the info its always great to have options.
