Alright heres my probelm, The adjustor bolt on the back of my swingarm(87 lt250r) busted off inside and the only way I could think of to get it out was to drill a hole in the bolt then pound a screwdriver in and twist it out, well it didnt work to good and i kinda drilled the threads out of the bearing carrier. Will i be able to get the rear end aligned right after puttin in new bearings, and i need to align it right cause i dont want to wear out brand firkin new bearings. Or am i going to have to get a heli coil and make a bigger hole the drill a bigger hole in the rear plate... Please help me.

hey, just go down to your local hardware store and get a bolt the next size bigger and a tap of the same thing. it should come with a drill bit so just use it to clean up the hole a little and retap it. that simple.
