Need a front axle and bolt for my 2003 EC300

I had to take a few years off and my bike sat in the garage. I went to take the front wheel off today to mount a new tire and the bolt snapped when trying to unscrew it. I had the pinch bolts loose on that side. I guess the bolt is seized in there?
If you don't have one for sale maybe you can point me to where I might find one? I guess I could drill it out and retap it and throw a hardware store bolt in. I think the pinch bolts are doing all the work there anyway and the bolt is superfluous?
 
Don't do it. The pinch bolts are nipped up to center the axle vs wheel. The bolt is torque up much tighter.
Snapping an 18mm bolt is crazy?!?
 
If you remind me tonight I can look up part number and check cpd inventory . Which part of the axle bolt broke ?
 
So the bolt itself cpd (central powersports direct ) has few in stock .
Be250218026 $13
Bc250018017 is $50 but non in stock . They on pre order or search the web for one . Says fits 01-07
 
I cross referenced these part numbers to yours and they are same . This axle looks abused though . Need to ask if bearings have worn grooves into axle . If so don’t buy .click the link below for eBay auction

I was gonna suggest them also and forgot . I have older Gasgas bikes in this era also . Newest I own is 2011. . Cpd took down their old parts diagrams but if you search and find your parts diagrams you can just search the part numbers . I ordered some parts yesterday for my 2011 from
Cpd.
