OK. So I've only got half way through drilling out broken shock bolts.
How bad would it be to ride with one shock? Would it put too much stress on just the one?
I've been riding without rear shocks for going on 2 weeks now. I'd love to have at least one but I don't want to break the mount or the shock.

So one side is fine then. That's cool because hopefully it will keep that rear end under control until I can get back to the other side next weekend.

get an air chisel. I didnt have a big enough hammer to hammer mine out, even after trying for 10 min on one. Got out the air chisel and it tool all of 5 seconds for all of them. Dont drill them out, thats pointless. All you'll do is break ease outs.

Hell if an easy out DID manage to get one out I bet those threads would still be trashed. Lol.
One done. Next week.... the other one.
