thats gonna freaking suck getting that out, only thing i can suggest is taking a dremmel and cutting wheel, cutting a notch on the bottom side of the bolt just deep enough for a flathead screwdriver to get a bite on it and try and back it out that way

Haha ur F***ed. I went through this experience for 5 hours after school once but on the bright side I got it fixed. I drilled it out and put a really small bolt up through the bottom. It was a huge PITA. If you have a welder weld a small nut to it and back it out. The dist is aluminum so you dont have to worry about them welding together. just dont get splatter in the dist.

Nice.

I used a corded dewalt drill to get back there. There isn't much room at all. I broke the front screen on my old razor from crawling around on the motor that night.

I just did my steering box and straightened my steering wheel the other day, turned out pretty good. I over tightened the box a little to much you can deff tell when you do it, i backed it off and what a night and day difference, and if i'd known that straightening your steering wheel was that easy i woulda did it a long time ago.
