well crap. i got the drain bolt off on the right side just fine. but the bolt on the left just spins in place. i also can hear the spring moving around inside the housing when i turn the bolt. even tighting it just spins. the alen head is not damaged so the 6mm alen tool still works. any idea's?

Extend the fork to the full length, the bolt should bite. Alternately use a piece of dowel (broom handle?) and put it down the open and to hold the bolt against the fork leg.
