      Thanks for the reply Basscliff

      I read the arcticle and went with the drill out and retap . Seems to have worked well . I used a center punch and drilled a hole that was pretty close to the center. The tap went through easily and the new bolt tightened up nicely. I dont think i'll ever touch this bolt unless I have to though.
