wish i could go that route... i have to take the bolts out.

 

Gootta newer jeep?

 

2000 im limited in some areas. but in other areas im glad i have it.

 

I know theres still a way to cut those hinges. Theres a writeup on here somewhere

 

Happiness showed up today let the madness begin!!

 

So here's the deal. My mom mangled her car up. Pretty good. So! The garage is empty til she gets her car back! (around a week or so). So I'm gonna be gettin' my jeep in the garage tomorrow and tearin' her down!! We'll see how much i can get done in that time, but wish me luck!! Severe updates WILL follow.

 

Bout time

 

Nice Get-R-Done!

 

Can these retainers be flipped, so that the retainer is on the bottom, & cross bolt is on top? mine are the opposite... not sure if it even matters?

 

Itt seems to me that it should be poossible. I havent pulled mine off, but it seems thee same either way.

 

So... sstarteed this morning! I got the 35 out lickidy split, and one leaf.... then hhit my snag. The drivers side leaf, on thee sttationary side, the bolt made it out of the but, but theen dwlecided to seize up in the sleeve in the bushing... and itt wontt come out. Ive tried all my tricks.. aand 3 hours later! Nothing. Pics will come. Tomorrow probably find a sawzall and cut the bolt out! All in all... kinda ****ty first day haha.

 

I just had the same thing happen, except the nut on mine isn't welded in that pocket. So I was able to cut the head off the bolt, & twist it out... with anger lol

 

i used my "pursuader" its a 4ft crowbar.


its my main tool when working on ol'dixie lol

try sprayin the hell out of it with pb blast. i wouldve let all the bolts soak in it over night before starting. its my new policy.

 

Last night before anything, i actually used aboout a half a can on the jeep. It helped all but the one bolt.

 

Did you just buy a new bolt from a hardware store??
