[quote=bottomsup72]I have an older Nacra 5.7. Like most 80s nacras, it has two round cross beams attached to the hull with a bolt and flange inside the crossbar and 4 bolts holding 2 straps at each hull/crossbar connection.
I have broken off the bolt in the crossbar AND one of the bolts that hold the straps. Efforts to remove have failed. On the strap bolt, I was able to drill out, fill with thickened epoxy and plan to re-drill and tap with a helicoil. On the center bolt, whatever held it in place broke away. It appears to be a flat metal threaded piece.
Does the bolt in the cross bar do anything other than hold the hulls from slipping down the cross bar? Since this is the only side where I can remove the trampoline, I don't want to epoxy in studs unless it's the only option.
I want to avoid a sawzall if possible. Any suggestions??[/quote]
