I bought my RC 4.5" lift kit and when i was doing my RC3" lift i attempted to do a T-case drop. My problem was that when i put the two nuts back to back to get the stud out, i thought that i was going to strip it. I have been spraying them with this stuff to loosen nuts for the last two weeks. I guess my question is... if this fails me again what other way can i get the stud out? I really need to do this drop in until i get my SYE!

Thanks,

Here's what you need:
dremel
pipe wrench
heat (not required but helps)

Remove the nuts. It doesn't always work. I stripped them easily when i tried that. Take the dremel and shave two flat surfaces on the side of the stud. This gives the pipe wrench something to grab and also heats up the for ease of removal. Take the pipe wrench and twist that S-O-B out.

Mine were rusted bad and they came right out.

Remember, eye protection

 

Worst case scenario is they twist off. Then just drill the broken stud out and retap the threads. It ain't the end of the world either way. Try the pipe wrench first (with heat) and if it twists off then you have a backup plan.

 

Mine did the same thing, I ended up doing the pipe wrench technique and it worked like a charm.

 

Ok thanks guys!

 

I used a stud ectractor on mine. Worked great.

I was at harbor freight lookin for one of those when i was doing mine. Funny thing was it was stored right above the pipe wrenches. As i looked it over it seems to work the same way a pipe wrench did; except it is easier to turn with a socket wrench, so i got the pipe wrench instead. I figured i'd only use the stud extractor once and the pipe wrench for other things.

 

I might have to go look into the stud extractor.

 

Everything went smooth with my lift, I got the TC drop on easily. One problem though, My lift gave me 6.5" in the front and 5" in the back. Should i call RC and ask them why my coils gave me so much lift or wait to see if they settle a little?
