I pulled mine through using washers and think the washers rubbing up against the threads removed most of the coating. I also pulled them through using the old fashioned method with a large ratchet as I don't like using an impact for this specific application. My arms nearly fell off the next day. Pressing them in is clearly a better option.
Nice work on the hood. You are a brave soul to be cutting up a perfectly good GT350 hood!
