it needs to be replaced because the cardinal had a prop strike?

just replace the dang bolt... it's an easy fix and well worth the
effort..
On our Pawnee, O-540 we did not even have to lift the engine off the
mounts.

Really?

What the f--- do I know. The 2 mechanics at the pre-purchase inspection
told me the 0-320-E2D engine on a Cardinal 177 1968 would have to be
removed
and shipped to an engine shop to have the bolt and plate removed and
replaced.
