I then removed the sleeve from the bolt and pressed it back into the shock. The long threaded portion I carefully center punched drilled and used an easy out bolt extractor. The short little treaded part I was actually able to spin using a long scribe needle and then used a magnet to pull it the rest of the way out. About an hour’s worth of work.. I got lucky!
I can only imagine the disappointment when you managed to extract the long threaded portion... and discovered there was another bit still stuck in there. But I guess the beer at the end tasted even better :wink:
