okay ive been installing a 4.5 rough country on my cherokee for the past 3 days haha, i know, but so far every bolt are a pain in the *** to get off..

question: are the bolts in front of the leaf springs just come out without holding a nut, or is the nut in a place where it is impossible to get too? ive got them out 1/8 of an inch off the spring but they are stubborn as hell and its taking all day.

2nd question: what kind of impact wrech do you need to get stuff like this off, i have one that is hooked up to a 135 psi compressor but i can hold it with my hand?? lol

 

There normly a round head allen bolt.
And you need to look for a ingersol rand air tools.

 

If you don't have any weight on it, should be fairly easy. There is no nut on the back of it.

 

Mine were nicely STRIPPED by the previous owner. I have a Husky impact gun rated at 650ft/lbs and I was running it at 140psi and it took a while but that nut came off.

I didn't noticed they were stripped 'till the impact gun zapped the nut off for the final few seconds. If i'd have known that, i'd have just cut the damn things off.

 

whelp, i rigged up some good leverage on it and the bolt broke off right where the threads start. hah. so the leaf is still in there pretty good even after smacking it with the sledge it didnt budge, so any ideas? i think im going to run the sawsall on the other side of the spring but then what about the place where the bolt screws into too? i need some help i think im screwed.

 

Damn man. I can't think of any good solutions for that.
