anyone ever punched them thru? I had to do the rear shock ones and they weren't too bad, wondering if the uniframe ones are pretty much the same or did they actually use more than 2 quick spot welds. Or am i better off drilling them thu??

The studs have to come out for the new crossmember, and of course they're being a b*tch...so far one has snapped flush, so it's remedy time.

thanx

i'd probably do the same as i had to for the rear shocks....drag bolts/lock washer thru from the top side, nut them up once the new c/m is in.

You can get them at the top from the drain plugs. Just go through it and start drilling it through
