If this is in fact your problem, in which I agree with scruffy, one other thing to keep in mind, is the reason the threaded bolt inserts were broke off in the first place is because the pocket iron bolts are to long. When they're a little to long, they bottom out on the screw that is used to go through the tail end of the insert to keep it from spining or pulling out. To long of a bolt runs the bolt into that screw, then pulls apart the insert at the point of the wood screw. Look inside the insert hole and see if there's any remaining part of the insert before you try installing a new onescruffy1 said:If i understand correctly. You have a gold crown 3 and are talking about the casting bolt. The bolt threads into a metal insert that has internal and external threads. the problem is the insert is now spinning. If this is correct
the only solution we have luck with is a 2part epoxy to glue the insert
back in place. Make sure not to use too much where it comes up inside the insert or you will have to clean it out before reattaching.
This is why i really have a problem with the threes. I think this was a poor design on brunswick parts. Installers take some blame too!!
Some hardware stores carry these inserts or you can try and retap original
