Broken Bolts on Anti-Rotation Device

Has anyone had the problem of broken bolts while removing the ant-rotation devices when changing lifters on the M8?

I’ve heard of a couple folks having the bolts snap off. The moco uses some super strong loctite

I thought you got these out and had the issue resolved. Are you just trying to find out how common a problem it is?

I got them out but the holes are not right now. Maybe need new cases. Others have had same issue and at least one dealer has covered this under warranty

Why can’t you chase it with thread repair, I’m sure that would clean it up. Mine came out without any problems.
