Thanks all for the input. I just did a quick check and it's not bottoming out. Could be just grease smears in the first pictures that make it look like that.
I had a long day at work and things to take care of this evening so I didn't even take the time to understand why the threads on the stud are wearing. Maybe I'm not holding the worm gear correctly in relation to the pin in this picture.
I had another member PM me that he replaces any wear parts he can when he's this far in. I tend to agree unless I would get a bad pin in this case that wasn't as hard and actually wears faster.
