I am replacing the shocks in my 96xj with 3in. lift shocks because of the 2in. bb. As I go to remove the rear top shock bolt, it spins, but won't come out. How do I remove that bolt?

 

the very top should have two flat spots you can grab it with an adjustable wrench, or just grip the shock itself

 

Alright thank you ill try that tomorrow

 

I had a big set of vice grips that I clamped to the top of the shock. no more spinning

 

What? Don't the rear shocks have bar-pins at the top?

If one of the two screws holding the top of the shock in is spinning, you need to cut/grind it off and redo it for the new one.

 

OOOOOOOHHH!

I read that and assumed it was the front shock, 2evil is correct. Cut that beeeyach off and replace.

Do a search for cherokee broken rear shock bolt. No, you dont need to cut a hole in your floor, fishing works as well
