Up and running. Thanks all!

Does the end of the socket need to be flattened and squared?

Thanks Rob and Tom. I was able to get the bolt back in smoothly and torqued properly. Per both your comments I was equally concerned about the threads. I cleaned the frame and bolt very well. I was also able to move the locknut freely up and down the bolt and got a new metric bolt to test the frame,...
