[Shotimes] Fun with SHOs, Part 1 (of hopefully only two parts)

[Scot Hewitt]

Ron,

I was thinking this same thought when I did the 26mm rear bar on my 95.
Luckily, both bolts came out OK, but one of them is rounded off fairly bad
(in the off direction!).  I ended up pounding a smaller sized 6-point socket
to get a good bite on it.  Anyways, I would think about using a torch and
cutting a small square hole on the side of the frame rail.  That would be
easier than drilling.

My proportioning valve nut is probably worse off, I looked at that crap-trap
and just shook my head.  This is why I'm buying my next vehicle from GA...

Just my 2 cents.
