Its nice when an anticipated repair goes BETTER than planned.

But - I didn't mention this earlier as I didn't want to discourage. I'm surprised you didn't find at least TWO other issues requiring additional repair along the way. Isn't that how it usually goes?

So now go get your ice cream knowing that spring center bolt is fine - at least for now.

ONe of my faves - "The Secret of the Machines" by Rudyard Kipling.

But remember, please, the Law by which we live,
We are not built to comprehend a lie,
We can neither love nor pity nor forgive.
If you make a slip in handling us you die!
We are greater than the Peoples or the Kings—
Be humble, as you crawl beneath our rods!-
Our touch can alter all created things,
We are everything on earth—except The Gods!

And another: the engineer's corollary -

"There is nothing that cannot be repaired."

"[There is] nothing that can't be repaired" -- a universal statement meaning that everything is repairable. Unprovable, and probably false, but maybe intended as a kind of life philosophy or a boast from someone who believes they have the skills to fix anything.
