All OEM related XJ specific tech. Examples, no start, general maintenance or anything that's stock.
I have sucessfully replaced the 1/4" roll pins on my driver's door. The droop is GONE. I thought I'd share some things.
Pressed them out with a heavy C clamp w/ a socket on the foot of the clamp to receive the pin and a slightly turned down 1/4" bolt (a short one to start) on the top, No heat. No hammer, Just penetrating oil.
Removing the door was made accessable with a T-40 stub with a 12mm hex that fit nicely into a gearwrench. (found CTA Tools in OH selling on Amazon).
I forget what size mine was, but I ended up buying a cheap Torx socket, knocking the center driver section out with a hammer, and daisy-chaining two combination wrenches together to get the leverage needed to actually get it loose. It worked, but I'm sure glad the internet exists to find out about that trick.
