Keep working it in, most times the pipe will begin to cave in on itself and get very loose in the hole.

Thanks, I may have to try it this way. I have a good welder but my skills are still developing.
And I was worrying about damaging the threads by cutting it with a hacksaw blade. .. Hammer and chisel.... I can handle that.
Next.. is this a regular pipe thread? Can I just get a piece of black pipe from the hardware store to replace it with, or is it a special piece.
