where did it snap off? 2 of mine snapped off where it went into the spacer. Once I removed the spacer, i was able to get a pair of vice grips on what was left of the bolts, then applied some heat to melt the threadlocker Blue the bolts had on them and they cam eright out

Just did mine all three broke!!! Tried drillin didnt work ended up buyin a reman box from autozone $127 bucks. Try the visegrips and heat and be patient. My box had 185xxx miles so i dont regret replacing it, it drives like a new truck. I can say be careful with the factory spacer, i shattered mine and jeep charges 125 bucks for a new one, but theyre out of production so i got one from c rok for 50 bucks. All in all i didnt wana spend so much money but it was worth it and drives great !! Patience my friend, dont be like me and get a bug up ur *** and be in a hurry to get it done, it always costs you. Oh, and lots of pb blaster for a few days never hurts....
