had the same problem and had to take the bushing out of the case half and put it in a lathe and cut the bolt out of the bushing, don't screw up the bushing because for some reason they are not listed in the parts manuel and my dealer says they are not available, when you put in the new bolt tap each end for a grease fitting and drill holes in the bolt where it meets with the bushings and then you can grease it so it won't happen again, I don't know why some one doesn't sell them like that
