Hahaha, Im going to work on it now actually, Its been pissing rain but today is sunny and hot. I got the new bolt in after punching the old bolt through. It was so easy i dont care if i snap the others. I just used a piece of fishing wire and a 3" wire leader to pull the bolt in hahahahaha. Took about 2 mins to punch out and installXD.

Ill let you know if i broke the others hahahaha. Be back soon, "Gone Fishing"

Also changed out my rear shocks today, and used a torch that worked on the left side, I just used a licence plate to cover the fuel line. That worked great and the bolt came out. The right side, heating didn't even work, they broke. We punched them out and and did the wire leader route also, and it all worked out great.

When i did mine i welded a foot long rod to a crappy wrench and used that for the hidden bolts. I thought it was pretty genius after around 2 hours of swearing at it.
