    While trying to install a brand new SS3 PRO pod, test fitting everything. While doing so, tried to remove the bolt and broke. WTF AM I GOING TO DO???

    Tried grinding into it and making a slit, didn’t work. Tried vice grips, no luck, tried grinding it because there is little room of play but no luck.

    Tried drilling it and it just spun. Made two slits, and out came the bitch. Had to rig it and modify it...but it worked out!
