I bought my 2001 cherokee sport bone stock from a lil lady. 94k on the motor an body. Started off my build the easy way with a new head unit speaker an my sub. In the process of puttin a 3.5 lift on it now( first time at this help would be nice)

JeepaholicNinja

Nice! I busted a leaf in the Hannaford parking lot...Hardcore mall crawling...jk it was a pothole I didn't see

LEE_xj

Well I started on my rear leaf springs tonight an my air impact took a crap on! Just my luck got one from a buddie a min ago to finish this up by the morning heading up to the north to my families place!

Okay I got one side down on the rear without a problem go to the driver side back bolt of the leaf spring that connects to the shackle come out with ease then the front bolt for the leaf spring breaks almost in half! How can I get the bolt out!?!?

About 2 cans of PB blaster, impact it on tightening then loosening, let it set over night use another can of PB blaster and use the air impact again. Good method I use is to tighten then loosen then tighten repetitively with an air impact.

LEE_xj

the bolt is in two pieces there is no way I can get a impact on it

BPranes

Where's it broke at? Is there room to get a cut off wheel on the inside of the nut or head? If so just cut it and tap it out with a hammer and a punch
