oldschoolhuffy Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 how u guys doing i have used this forum for awhile now but just never really had any questions to ask but i just took off my nerfbars a couple days ago because a bolt had seemed to have snapped when i took it off i noticed that the threads to the one bolt were cracked and were not holding the bolt i was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if anyone knows a way to fix the threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 which one is it? either way, it'll need a new one welded in, but if it's th right front, it'll just be easier cus you may be able to weld and retap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
