rear skid to chassis mount (torque link)

[fourbarrel]

Can I change the bolt that clamps the torque link to the upper cross shaft of the rear skid with the skid still bolted in place? I broke one and replaced it with what I happened to have at the time and now rather than drop the rear skid down and go through all the procedure to put it back in place I just thought I could remove the bolt I stuck in the clamp with a new one.I'm not sure how much strain there is on that clamp.Anyone done this?

If it's lifted and you remove spring tension there won't be any stress on it if your worried about it!
