It’s fine. Sometimes I have to spin it to get it to bend the way I want. Just don’t do it a ton with an impact and you’ll be ok. As long as the threads aren’t damaged, there should be no issues.

I regret how the whole industry is regulated. Overworked, underpaid, and it’s the most labor intensive job in the shop. I’m paid well, but I still feel like techs should make more for the work provided. Though techs are not created equal. Some are overpaid and underworked. Stick it out long enough with a shop and things usually turn around, provided you can keep the job long enough.
It’s just one if those things you put to the back of your mind after you consider all safety first. If your safety mechanisms fail, they fail. Use your noggin to make sure you use the right tools and you won’t have issues. Test the lift, shake it a bit. Anything beyond that is beyond my control.
Is your alternator charging the battery?
I don’t think a bad cat would be causing a lean condition, or no cat. It would lead to a rich condition if clogged, usually. If it is lean on one bank, look into the engine controls for that bank. MAF, O2, ETC.
Yea you are kinda at their mercy. A warranty on the work is long gone. Sorry for your luck. You are sticking up for yourself, as are they for their time and effort.
That sounds like it sucks, but is much safer.
