I managed to grab the remaining head of the break away bolt with a small pair of vice grips. That was on an 80.

I've been able to start those by using a small, sharp chisel to drive the bolt in the direction of removal. Once it's loose, it's easy to turn. You can cut a slot when it's out to make it easy to reinstall it, or find an Allen head bolt of the proper thread to replace it. _______________________________________________ [email protected] Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spitfires/[email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spitfires/[email protected]
