Have you tried anti sieze on the threads??? also heating the area around the probe with a propane torch just a little to help let the metal expand some times works--- if the use a NPT thread you might use a NP straight tap instead of the taper tap just put the probes in and SNUG them in NOT OVERLY tighten when installing---worse case scenario remove and re-install after every weekend to keep them free--you will have to use a socket or line wrench to totally engage the flats on the nut otherwise your gonna round it off then you will really have problems--- what does Racepak say????
