HELP! Need hatch fixed today

[Phact]

I need to know the name of that part. i stripped the bolt that goes in behind it

[Jmunk]

It's the fork, you must have stripped out the pinch bolt.

i striped it and the bolt broke off half in the fork still. i dont know how to get it off my strut

if its just the bolt and no head on it u could try using a center punch and a hammer to knock it out.... unless its got threads goin thru inside, i've never taken one out b4 so i'm not sure, but u might be able 2 use a center punch or drift or something fairly big and kinda blunt like a thick metal rod or something
just try punchin it out lol

i did the same thing right before i left to go to NY i just left it and now im going to cut behind it cause i got a new pair at a junkyard...........like get a dremal and grinder i dont kno how hard its goign to be to get behind it.........i tried to cdrill it for like 5 min and it hardly did that much to it

when i siad i left it i didnt leave it to drive like that.............

you will needa just cut the bolt, right where the two pieces it pinches are. use a hacksaw and saw lightly, cause you dont wanna hit the strut. and trust me, hacking the bolt is a lot easier than cutting through the fork itself. if you need one, i have a lot of them, i never though someone would ever need those....

Got it all fixed, new fork put in got it at the junk yard for $5.25, and installed new brakes. im up and roaring again
