The spacer change is just kinda like a step ahead while you are in there.

I usually use 2 wrenches if it doesn't work I use a breaker bar. If that doesn't work I kick the breaker bar

hello gurus
Does anyone know where the crossovers are for the factory Infinity speaker package? I'm looking at replacing the lower speakers in the doors because they have torn cones on my 97 and I don't know if I need to install crossovers or not.
Thanks!

Question Need to replace the plastic connector between the wiring

into the Jeep, and the passenger side rear wiring harness/assembly that holds the sockets and bulbs that give the very important tail/brake/turn and back-up lights...

The sockets and wiring were so corroded I bought a new wiring harness. When I disconnected the old wiring corrosion in the plastic connector had cemented the pins inside together......when separated the pins mostly all went with the old wiring.

I need real Jeep-people help here. My 1993 Cherokee Sport 4.0 4x4 has 305,570+ but I can't give her up yet and that's my only ride to work. Currently have no tail lights and only the brake light on the driver's side.
Can't seem to find anyone around here that has a clue - though I've gotten lot's of "get a new car" advice.

I'm open to all suggestions and/or instructions.
Thanks - M Cherek-ee
