You're absolutely right. I didn't realize that after banging on it with a hammer (had the bolt on) there was even a chance it would ever come out. Even if true, that's the wrong mentality to have.
That site looks great, and just in case I found one that should work on Ebay. I would have just hated to sweat, swear and then be disappointed when no replacement could be found.
