Stripped Front DS Bolt
Hey guys, I was under my jeep the other day trying to remove my front DS to replace the u-joint, and I stripped on of the 8mm bolts near the TC. Any ideas on how to get my front DS out?

I am facing the same situation and here's what I plan to do.
I will be using a low profile bolt extractor. I looked up the price for a
7mm and 8mm and the price for both including shipping was almost thirty dollars.
I searched some more and found a 14 piece set from craftsman for 49.99
on the sears website. There was even a 5 dollar discount. With shipping
the total was around 51 bucks.
These extractors should work because they are low profile and will fit in that cramped area. A punch is included so that you can seat the socket on the bolt. Since there is no room for a ratchet, the socket can be turned by an open ended wrench.
Good luck and I'll let you know how it goes.

Break a extractor off in there and you will be replacing the yoke. Cut/grind the heads off use a dremmell if you have too then take driveshaft off and use vice grips on remaining bolt.
