Default I cross-threaded the line on my ABS for RR

So I did the optional 3 Amigos fix and somehow I cross-threaded the hardline for RR into my ABS unit. Give it to me straight guys, how screwed am I?

Edit: Another question, better to tap it or to drill it out and helicoil it? Anyone know what the stock fitting's threads are?

you shouldn't have had to take off any lines

I know, I tried to do it propped up with a 2x4, but the one closest to the front was really hard to undo. I think I'm just going to replace the whole thing.

I found a used one for $50, so I think I'm going to go that route. Also I found them for $395 here 1999-2004 Discovery II Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Modulator

Just a quick update. Abran had an ABS block that he sold me and didn't know the condition of the Shuttle Valve so I ordered a new shuttle valve from Lucky8. The one from Abran arrived and worked like a champ. 3 Amigos are gone and after the longest bleed of my life she is running (and braking) properly.

With Abran's help it sounds like you are on a winner.

Double check the codes and then clear all of the codes in the SLABS unit if the problem re-appears.

So far no new codes ABS codes and the 3 Amigos haven't come back yet either. Now time to address all of the other stuff!
