[QUOTE="FXRS, post: 1403549, member: 87653"] Wow, interesting to see this thread. Last year on my '14 ES, no corrosion, doing a simple install after having new tires mounted that same rear pinch bolt snapped off on me too. I was using a high end, no problem torque wrench set 17 lb-ft and it just snapped (didn't even feel like wrench was about to hit setting either). Rode over to my long time trusted mechanic to take a peek at it. He took a number #2 pencil, jammed the eraser end into the hole and backed out the remnants Got lucky I guess but wanted to throw it out there if someone is reading this in the same situation i.e.- also minus any apparent corrosion issue. Good luck to OP, hope you get it solved ok! [/QUOTE]
