I have tried to get it off before. I thought I half assed it so I tried again since I'm going through everything. Now I'm a big guy and.I work out a lot. I soaked the nut in pb. I can't get that stinkin thing to budge! Anyone have tips?

 

breaker bar with a cheater pipe

 

Are you trying to get the nut off of the ball joint type end? Or the actual bracket. Not sure if it will help in your situation but when I changed my trac bar I took the whole mount off the frame.

 

I was thinkin about t hat.. ya the nut on the frame mount.15/16 I guess I will take the mount off. I want to change the bushings and paint.

 

The unfortunate part is I don't have access to a breaker bar where I am. I'm basically working out of the tools I brought here with my jeep. The rest of my tools ate in my roll away at my shop out of town and I can't get over there right now... I'm just waiting for me to be pulling as hard as I can and having the wrench slip and bust my head open. I'm on the top nut and I'm moving the whole mount when I'm pulling.

 

soak that ***** in PB for a week (one shot everyday) and muscle it on out! if that dont work carefully torch it up... if that dont work buy a nut splitter and split the bolt. once the bolt is gone, hammer a pickle fork in there and jump on it!

 

Happy I'm not the only one with this problem.... ill keep spraying it. Hopefully I can get it off without splitting my dome.

 

Did you pull the cotter pin?

I used about 12" of pipe on my 3/8" ratchet handle to get mine out. I couldn't find my breaker bar or that would have done it.

What was more difficult was getting it out without a pickle fork.

 

No pin in the Damn thing. It's aftermarket. I know there was one stock and I'm curious to see when I get it off if there's a provision for one. It's a solid bar running through the mount. The trac bar has a hole in it sandwiched by two poly bushings. Like I said I was moving the whole bracket out when I was pulling. I'm soaking it in liquid wrench. Hoping that helps.

 

It's this one

 

Drill or grind the head off the bolt and drive it through.

 

I truly hope it doesn't come to that..... I gotta check.the price.... guess I could just replace it with a new grade 8.

 

I'm gonna fab my own gd drop bracket.... cutting that f'n bolt off

 

Hey Slick, I just found your thread. Wed. I'll be around waiting for a propane guy here in Rio Nido. I have a decent breaker bar and 1/2" stuff. Drop by if you promice not to shoot my Jeep to put it out of it's misery.

No saws-all or heat wrench, here, but an angle grinder.

 

Right on thanks a lot buddy... ill get in touch.. pm me your number and ill give you a call tomorrow.
