Yeah.. I tried an easy out and it wasn't budging and that's the kinda steel u don't wanna drill trough.. but I just started with a small bit and worked up until I got close and tried to ease the tap using pb blaster the whole time.. found the sweet spot and was good to go..You got lucky -- several years ago I had one snap on the road right after doing Tail of the dragon, with full luggage and a passenger.
Chewed up a tire sine the fender cocked sideways, snapped a second on trying to remove the strut. Was in the middle of nowhere, AL.
Ended up snapping a tap in the hole after I got them out (even worse).
Somewhere on here should be my whole diatribe about that trip ( Panama City Beach, Thunder on the Beach 2012)
