[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 374211, member: 6354"] Maybe the eclipse just made me dense, but I've missed something. Did you tap for a stud bigger than the original bolt? And if you just tapped a bigger set of threads, why wouldn't just a bigger bolt work? If you used the same size stud as the bolt it replaced (that would be the 8), and are assuming the thread damage was the bolt only, I'd still be a bit concerned about the stud holding its place in there. In other words, if the swingarm wouldn't hold a bolt, why would it hold a stud (Loc-tite notwithstanding)? [/QUOTE]
