as for a replacement you can go to the stealership or your local hardware store with another nut and get a new one...

Had to be the hardest one to get to, didn't it!!!

If youre real careful not to hit the jug, you might be able to cut the nut off from the top down with a dremmel.

Have you already tried vice-grips? You will have to replace the stud if you cut it off. They both should be available from your local yamaha dealer.

well i got a dremell and cut it off. once i got it offi tried using a bolt extractor to get the stud out. well now i onlu have from the journel to were ever the bolt ends. i think im pretty much f**cked at this point.

so it snapped off at the cases or you still have the 1/2 inch or so of unthreaded stud sticking up? if theres anything still sticking out you may still have a chance...

well, there was chance and hope till we broke 3 easy outs and the vise grips shredded the rest that was left. but i have a friend thats a machinest and hes gonna check with one of his buddies at work and get me a price to just drill out the old stud and weld it all shut and re-tap it.
