Nice job Sach, and good pictures too by the way so we all learned something today.
But why one thread is corroded and not the other?
Could be some brake fluid made it's way into the thread previously, easily done when removing the cover and mixed with moisture ( hygroscopic means it attracts moisture ) and started corroding the aluminum housing similar to salt and moisture.
Some grease or gear oil ( spreads out on a surface and wicks in a crevice ) would have reduced this and regular fluid changes would have limited the time corrosion had settled in, even" excersising" the screws a bit would have helped.
Something you have more control over instead of " done by the dealership ".
