I would try it remember it will at some point go out the back when you drill. It is also not just the harness of the drill but the drop out is softer then the bolt and will or at least can creep over to the drop out. Try soaking it in a penetrating fluid then try the drill bit but not before putting it in to the chuck as deep as it will go to support it and get it started right. then go get a beer. If you need help come on over and we will give you some moral support. Steven Willis The Bike Stand 1778 East Second Street Scotch Plains NJ 07076 908-332-3330 http://www.thebikestand.com
