I snapped one of mine., shouldn't have been using the lashing eye for recovery, not the weekend before we go away in the caravan at least :rolleyes:

Anyway, it didn't want to some out.  Annoying as the bolt that was left was way thinner than the tube it was in and there wasn't even much rust around it.

The tube is not a full tube either, as I found when my drill bit caught the edge and snapped.

I ended up grinding the bottom off the tuve in the middle, drilling the bolt into 3 pieces and hammering each one out with a chisel.  There's minimal damage to the chassis and it's strong enough without the repair.
