[QUOTE="thudpucker, post: 177187, member: 1422"] The bolts always break first. They are made for that. I bought several "kits" in my days for my OMC's. Just make a nice clean starting point. Center punch, and drill a small hole. Bigger and bigger drills till your nearly to the Threads. Then come up with something you can drive into that soft aluminum as an easy out. I ground down a File, inserted it and unscrewed the old stuff right out of there. Dont drive anything into those threads that will expand the threads enough to break the bracket. [/QUOTE]
