I broke mine off on my 1811. The rockshaft was frozen from rust and I thought I could just put something against it and work the lift. I was wrong. It bent the bolt and broke the spot welded thread insert. I put a nut and bolt there for now. Once I set it I don't need to ajust it so I'll get around to fixing it someday.
It took me over a week, a can of PB and Kroil with a 3' steel shaft and a sledge hammer to free it up. That was one of the hardest repairs I had to do yet.
