Hey Bulletman -
Based on my observations, and Bare's description, it should be an easy job, provided I don't break anything else! I'm going to remove the swing arm, locate a proper bolt, and my guy plans to remove the old stud, probably by cutting and grinding it flat, followed by drilling out, insert the bolt with head attached, and TIG weld it at the head, on the inner side of the plate. I'll post it all here, or maybe start a new thread with a proper name for posterity. Anyway, stay tuned...
Just about everyone I communicate with on this says they only use a torque wrench for critical engine adjustments - and I can see why. It helps to have a feel for how tight is tight enough, which I think I'm better at using a "regular-sized" tool instead of the longer, flexible torque wrench. That said, the shock bolt is only, what, 10mm? 30 ft-lbs seems kinda high...
