Here's the link, I'll do a cross post in the RBW group a few days before,

there. I'll post my regular weekend rides there as well in case anyone
wants to join (those are usually decided sometime Friday).

Hunter - You are correct. Problem 2 has been solved by a simple tap out of
the nut and bolt per previous suggestions. I did not realize it was just a
bolt on the other side, I was under the impression there was some threads
in the housing and the bolt would have to be extracted by drilling a hole
bolt? And, if so- was it perhaps getting
lodged between the ears of the lug-slot and causing less-than-100%
clampage?
Something to watch out for!

how did you tap it out, isn't it threaded in the housing? or does tapping
it out also take the housing out?

and yes the threads got ruined, I don't know how to fix it without that
happening short of what you said,
with a small drill bit, work your way up in
sizes, slowy, until there is almost no bolt left and then you should be
able to break it up without ruining the threads.

Glad to know I'm not the only one! I almost never am hence why I asked.
Brian @ riv said I could bring in the seatpost and he would apply some
knurling to it, I had to look that up, will help with slipping.
Now I just need to work on tapping out the bolt and getting a new one.
