I tried to replace my axle u joints and my steering box today, but I couldn't manage to loosen the hub nuts or remove the pitman arm... The struggle is real.

For the Pittman arm, you need a Pittman arm puller...... For the axle nuts, well, you need a set of nuts.

Why am I not getting a signal? I followed the instructions... Is this not grounded properly? That bracket is stainless steel.

I bought a puller and it broke, I bought an impact gun and it's not strong enough for the nuts. I almost rocked the jeep off the jackstand tryin to do it with a breaker bar.

As far as that bracket goes I'm gonna get some self tapping screws for it.

The pullers from advance/auto zone suck..... You got beat on the impact gun, mine eats those nuts alive.....put the jeep on the ground with tires on, get breaker bar and cheater pipe, no problems

Well, got quite a bit done on the new jeep today. Tomorrow the jeep gets a header, new downpipe, full 2.5" hi flow exhaust I ran on my last jeep for 2 months, 99+ intake, bored throttle body, new water pump, and new power steering pump. Then it'll need the brake lines done and bled and she's as good as new.

We already swapped rear axles out with my other jeep's rear that was in better shape. All new rear brakes as well. She's coming along nicely and I'm proud of this one

a couple things...You probably don't have enough of a ground on it. I have mine in the same location with the single tail light bolt, and I added an extra ground into it. I also cannot tune it where it is and have high SWR due to reflection off of the body of the jeep.

It's lame, I like the mounting location, but considering moving it up to the hood now
