Went for a trip to my buddies house, I was curious if the shovels had that bolt drilled straight through and sure enough its the norm, not sure why the evo's have a bolt there. He already had a 5/16 drill bit with a welded extention. Filled the hole and drill bit full of white grease, removed the oil scensor and drilled through without a problem. Another Gremlin in the books.
Thanks guys.
