Default Rear Leaf Removal Gone South

Hey guys. I'm working on getting a bastard pack installed to fix my sagging leafs. Having trouble getting my driver side rear leaf spring removed. It's completely loose except for the front bushing. The bolt appears to be fused to the bushing (of course) and it my attempts to remove it, I appear to have broken it.
I was hoping to get it done on the cheap so I'd really rather not take it to a shop to have the broken bolt removed. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Default np242 transfer case shifting problems

so my xj has been giving me trouble with going in 2wd. the only times i can get it to go in is if i am stopped, put the tranny in neutral, and shift the t case down fast. now i think i really put my linkage arm out of adjustment because it wont even go low enough to make it to 2wd. is there any solution to this and yes i have once already adjusted my linkage. thanks

I'm confused.

Ever checked the transfer case fluid?

Maybe you should view this:

I have not, reason being my drain plug bolt is almost stripped so if I remove it I would more than likely not be putting the same one back on

If you are trying to save main leaf, cut bolt on both side with sawzall or hack saw, then easy out remainder.

Would Locktite super glue work to install inside rearview mirror?

The drain plug? Fluid level is checked at the FILL plug.

Seems to me that ought to be addressed.

They actually make a special glue for that exact reason

I used gorilla glue once and it's been holding well for a few years. Last I saw the car it still hanging up there (car sits in a field now)

Default 95 XJ

Hi guys I'm new here. I recently bought a 95 XJ that wasn't running. I've been reading and talking everything and everyone why it won't start. It will turn over but will not fire. I replaced the CPS the pick up coil distributer plugs wires. I have very little spark. And I only have fuel pressure in the rail when it is turning over. Any help would be great. Completely stumped.

I tried the sawzall approach but couldn't get between the bushing and the bolt. The bushing killed the blade in about 5 minutes.

After i put my spark plug wire boot on my cap and it makes that nice *click* sound, is it ok for the boot to have a little play? itll bounce up and down, but if i take it off again and push it to the click again, it still bounces. That normal?

If the wire seats on the plug it's good. As long as the boot is covering the plug it's fine.

Shouldn't be a problem. Start it up and you'll know right away if it's not in contact. What kind of wires?
