Thanks for the check. I went to quite a few places but found one at napa. The leafs are ready to go in tomorrow!!

But now I'm still stuck on one of my shock bolts. it is spinning in the frame. Pretty sure the bolt and nut are just corroded and aren't breaking free. I hit it with map gas and was able to sneak a 17mm wrench in to maybe grab hold of the nut in there. Still no luck. So I'm going to try and sneak in there and cut it out in the morning.

If I can't get it, how bad will it be if I drive to a auto place maybe a mile from me to have them get it out? Think she will be fine?

I tried to find it again but no luck. Seems like it was some site ran by an old dude. Like Steve's jeep site or something. Is there an area on here we could upload diagrams we find so everyone can use em?

Default Chirping Pulley

So I have had this chirp for a while now so I did the sensible thing and threw a bunch of parts at it to see if it would fix it, (AC Bypass, Idler and a new belt) it didn't. So I was down at pepboys picking something up and had them do some kind of ac system check or other for $20, where they diagnose where the noise is coming from. So an hour later they "think" it's the water pump bearing going out. I have the belt off now trying to figure it out for my self now. How freely should the water pump spin by hand? Does it normally make any noise spinning it by hand? I have a stethoscope, but it hasn't helped me much. Thank for the help.

Does the chirp get louder and faster when you give her gas. Try to see if it's wobbly
