Reply to: Hobie 18 crossbar support casting

[quote=faceplant09]the broken bolt was removed with a bolt extractor drill after soaking overnight in LiquidWrench. I removed the tramp and flipped the crossbar upsidedown. I threaded the bolt all the way through the casting to make sure it was good. Flipped the crossbar back down and lined up the inside bolts. Lifting the crossbar for an inch of gap between the crossbar and the hull, I made sure I had a good start on the thread. I did the same on the other side. I added the outer bolts , but just started them. I snugged the inner bolt to make sure there was no play, then i snugged the outer bolt. I think my problem with lining up the inside bolts with the inner casting nut was that the tramp was keeping me just out of alignment and kept crossthreading the bolt. Once the tramp was removed it was easier to have a buddy help me square up the thread start.[/quote]
