The shackle bolt is slightly larger and the threads are not that same as what I pulled out. Has anyone just drilled out the existing holes to a larger size and removed the old threads? First picture arrow represents front of vehicle. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B57Cq4IaK0lDcE5OdGhGR0hUWTgSecond picture with leaf removed the inside hole is currently threaded on my hangers. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B57Cq4IaK0lDd1Z1aGRvWFg2aDgI want to open the holes up slightly and fit the new shackle bolt. The inside hole would no longer be tapped. Thoughts?
