I too had a similar problem just the other day. My son welded a piece of rebar to it and made a makeshift "dent puller" and snatched it out..And when you go back together with it both of those big washers go on the outside :wink:

Damn, that sucks Jesse. Never heard of it before but sounds like you have a pain on your hands. Good Luck with it. Could you use a 90 degree head drill to get into drill it out maybe.

I had the same problem.what did is to make a 1 1/4x1 1/4x5/8 square nut tap it 7/8x14 cut out the broken bolt and the little nub that the arm sits on center nut in the square hole and weld in then use a 7/8 bolt. won't brake that bolt.good luck you can put the nut on the nub and trace it with a scribe and be realy accurate.hope this helps.ti took me almost as long to tipe this as to do the repare.

looks like a copy of deans arms.
to fix your bolt buy a weld in pocket and make a insert out of it

If you end up drilling it, use a left handed bit.
