While trying to remove the bolt that holds the middle blade, my buddy and broke the bolt. This is the one that threads into the main gearbox shaft, so a simple replacement would prove costly.
Has anyone else done this? Were easy-outs successul? Our opinion is that the bolt is mostly likely grade 8, and that drilling will be difficult, and if it broke as it was, then most likely we'll break the easy out as well. Heat will probably cook the bearings, so we're concerned about that route/
Any ideas guys?
Thanks
