[QUOTE="longlivenintendo, post: 454866, member: 24533"] got a good update from last monday! We got the bolt out, (ended up using a pick tool) we had to rethread the hole because I had stripped the threads as I missed the hole. A lot of lessons learned here though. Had to learn the different "feel" of bolts and how to work with them, be patient, and not force anything. Very important to get the inch lb wrench and carefully go around as you tighten them in a criss cross pattern. Thank you for the support, and hopefully this thread will help people from making the same mistakes. I will post a short video on youtube summarizing what I learned and referencing other videos on youtube on doing this repair. [ATTACH=full]123511[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
