I cant be the only one who didnt at least think of this

That's a good idea. I broke mine and had to hear it up with a torch to get it off.

Jeepermark

Yeah mine was so rusted on i tore it up as well. Bent my prybar it was so bad. The access hole made it a breeze

Never thought of that for the NSS. If it works, it works. Just make sure that hole is sealed good and tight when done because you just opened another door for rust to take hold.

Jeepermark

Ohh i did. Its a rustbucket any ways. Only bought her for $300

Hmm... interesting. My biggest problem removing the NSS was accessing where the wires were anchored to the transmission bellhousing.

Jeepermark

Yeah this didn't help with that problem. I have no idea why they tucked it up in there. I just ran mine out by the starter

Basslicks

Hahaha... I don't know how much experience you have working on this platform, but trust me - this won't be the first time you curse the engineers.

That's a good idea. I have had 3 tries trying to replace mine and it hasn't budged. I will try this next.

So after making the opening, how did you go about taking it off without damaging the shaft?

Basslicks

Here's a good video on it.

OldTires

Thanks, Bass, had not seen that video.

I fear mine is rusted on tight (everything on this Jeep is rusted on by now), though I didn't try that screw driver trick on the nut. I tried the shims and a screw driver working behind the body. I'll give it another try in the spring.

Jeepermark

With the opening. I was able to put more heat to it and use a small flat bar.. My unit was already dammaged. From the screw driver trick so i didnt have much to lose. You can really get behind itvwith this access point

It looks like you did think of it!

I just got done with mine. Thankfully, everything rust free. Getting the zip ties off was a real pain. Anyone done the NSS and CPS? Which did you find to be worse? Thanks.
