I was about to do a T-case drop today when I noticed one bolt on each side of the mount is upside down, my question is how do I get these 2 out to replace them with the longer bolts after I put the spacer's in? Thanks...Tj

Sorry can't help with that except to say I don't remember it as a problem because I just used hand tools to remove mine. Don't remember specifically though. If you get an answer then do a write up with some pictures if you have the time Joe.

OK Mike when I figure it out I will. Its strange that 2 bolts go up through the frame and 2 come down through the frame...Tj

Those are studs and they are a pita to get out. Some techniques that can work, get a pair of vice grips and turn em out but heat them up big time. Also if you weld and have a welder you can tack weld a nut to it and use that to turn it out.

PS ONLY with a jeep I have had this problem. I have done tons of these in the past. It must be a JEEP thing...lol

Funny thing is not all XJ's used studs...Mostly just early models.

Well thanks to you guy I got it done. The heat trick worked and wound up using a pipe wrench to get them off. Vibrations are now gone what little I had so I'm a happy camper...Tj

Good deal..What t-case drop did you end up using?
