well, I  finally did it. I wrenched it too tight recently I guess and have

any tips on getting this sucker out so  I can replace it without damaging  the

Thanks!

Hi Chris,
I just stripped mine out too.
I found a metric bolt,
with the same thread,
only longer.
It reaches the good threads
and has held up just fine
for about 6 months.
I guess I'll probably get around
to properly fixing it someday ??? :o)
best,
