Subject: Anti-Frankenstein bolt install problems

   Date: (none)



I got the two bolts from Roebuck to replace the "Frankenstein" bolts. The

one on the driver's side came out OK, but when I threaded the new bolt in,

it didn't go down as low as the existing rearward one, and it sticks up

above the surface of the chrome plate and looks a little funny. Should I

try replacing it without the washer it came with?



When I went to remove the passenger's side F-bolt, just the top of the bolt

came off, leaving a threaded stud sticking out of the chrome plate. How do

I get that sucker loose to remove it and replace it with the regular bolt?



Thanks,
