[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1403488, member: 19880"] Never heard of that pinch bolt breaking before. (Torque is only 17 ft-lb.) Corroded in place?? I don't believe that there are any threads on the outer part of the bolt - the swingarm is only threaded past the "split". If that is broken off below the surface, it is going to be a bitch to drill it out! I second what Ray says about trying a LH drill bit. Some penetrating lubricant too. I think the split in the swingarm is too narrow to get anything in there to turn the shaft of the bolt. (maybe it could be spread a tiny amount??) Good luck! [/QUOTE]
