I need any info on correcting my mistake. Here's what I have done. The bolt that goes through the frame that is splined when
trying to press the convex washer on which is also splined I stripped the bolt out in the frame. Problem is I can't get it back out. No place to grab a hold on it because I used washers, spacers and then tried to run it up with the bolt.
On the others I used a socket and C-clamp and pressed it on, which worked great.
Need help on the one I screwed up and what to replace it with when I do get it out. A regular bolt with lock washer?

Please any information.

Ken
