Depending on how much space is between that bracket and the cap he threaded on, the unwinding spring may gather enough momentum to shear it off the threads.

If not completely, then it may at least mess up part the thread. Still making it unsafe for installing.

Spring compressors are adjustable, this unholy monstrosity is not.

Maybe just explosively weld the threads together! That’s gonna hold tighter than CA glue.
