Dobey1 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Any Idea how to fix this? Should I assume drill , re-tap and cut some threaded rod? Or a flat head bolt on the cushion side? Anyone else have this happen? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarpon1215 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Use a bolt extractor. Remove other side and remove bolt, replace bolt and you are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if you will have to cut the cushion to get to the bolt head, the threaded portion I believe is in the tube flange and sure looks like it has red Loctite on it. I would contact the factory, that could be a real issue if it gives out under way. Might just be removing the metal strip on the back of the cushion will get to the bolt head, after a second look?

Dobey1 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Drilled it out and ran a new SS bolt in. No plastic spacer, but did the trick. Back in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
