03 FLHT, had to drop the swing arm to replace the stud plate for the seat.
I could not get one of the lower shock bolts to start, discovered that half of the threads are missing from the shock mount.
Bought the bike used so I don't know if the previous owner messed them up or what.
How is the best way to repair or do I need to just replace the mount?

 

Timesert or helicoil

 

Do you have clearence for a little longer bolt, if so use a half nut on the end.
