i`ll be surprised if you can get to the other side to hold the nut..........bore out and re-tap 

Yeah, because it goes into the frame

There is no way to get it from the other side.
Yeah I think I need to buy a drill and tap...
Thanks

I just bought another screw.....it seems the screw, not the frame is the weak point....if it was focced after a fall then maybe a new screw is all that is needed....i just popped into a place in Swansea, showed them the old one & got a matching non yamaha screw & now it's fine.
