I bought an oem rear hugger off eBay for my 2010 GSA but found the old bolt well and truly seized into the housing on the final drive. I tried pliers and grips and cutting a slot and a screwdriver but nothing would budge it so took off the calliper and tried to drill it out from the back. Result a few broken drill bits and the hole drifting still leaving remnants of the old bolt in place.
Any ideas of how to fix this, was thinking I drill out larger and fill with jb weld and then drill and tap that. I have those aluminium repair rods but would be worried about using heat on part of the final drive. Maybe drill and tap larger and glue in a bolt and drill and tap that?
