And special, jest fer a newbie we will mention the carefully kept secret -- the one in the front is a left handed thread and a left handed nut.
Thought I'd mention it ahead of time so you can feel really really silly when you bust it off trying to do righty tighty lefty loosey to it ....

You can do this thing. Don't let no wimpy shiftless? rod mess with you. Please note that I keep a trusted motorcycle mechanic near by.

Id bet that if I had a metal rod & some baling wire & pliers I could get one home IF it was busted out in the middle like yours. I wouldnt just weld it, Id splint it & weld it. Just a couple inches of steel rod layin across the break & some welding & that thing otta stay with ya.

Ok so with a knot in my stomach and some serious trepidation I figured I would try and fix this thing this weekend. I'm going to go and see if a local dealer has the part here in Ocala and I have the new EVO phone from sprint so I'll video it and post for your amusement..LOL

yes and no, it's got left and right hand threads. So if you have a left hand 6mm thread die you could make your own using a piece of rod, otherwise you will need to either buy a new one or take a piece of tube and put over the broken section and weld it on.
