'05 R1200 ST "threaded pin" on rear sub-frame ?

I'm trying to replace the clutch on my '05 R1200 ST and as many of you may know, you have to take the damn bike apart to get to the clutch. I have the BMW Shop Manual, and it says that to take off the rear sub-frame, I have to remove Bolt 1, then tighten a "threaded pin" on each side, and then remove Bolts 2 and 3 to release the sub-frame. Then Bolt 4 is loosened.

The pin is shown in the attached JPG. I can't find it, either on the bike or on the Max Parts fiche. Does anyone where the pin is hidden, or know the full part number?

I can't find it using the six digit number in the JPG, I need more numbers. I also can't see it in the Max Parts fiche rear sub-frame parts list.

TIA.

Mystery solved? I'll let you know.

When I replaced the clutch in my 2007RT I borrowed a set of these from a friend who made them from a bolt of right size and length Cut off the head and saw a slot in one end so you can screw it into place.

Thanks for the idea, Dave. I just had a friend come over and we drank beer and yanked on the subframe until it came apart.

What could go wrong?
