Hey guys, i found out what was causing the binding in the front of my skid. One of the hyfax screws let go causing the hyfax to drop a little, i guess i was lucky it didn't come off! Anyway now what?.............I have read about drilling out and using nut and bolt. Could somebody give details or better yet post pictures.............thanks...........James

A picture is worth a thousand words!........thank you...........James
I started explaining it, then thought..I will just take a picture!
That job was a quicky..I had guys waiting on me. That is what happends when you wait till the last minute. But worked good.

I still do not know why not use an easy out? You drill it, then use the easy out, backs it right out!

Got it all done, didn't take to long. I did have some issues on the rail that the screw was sheard off but in the end i got it to work. DoN'T know why with all engineering might at Yamaha they didn't come up with this to make it a little easier on the end user.................James

So they can sell more rails for those not willing to do the work, letting their dealerships do the install.
