Sway bar end link bolt
Just a bit too late. I found out by bringing the bolts to Ace yesterday. [emoji16] Good info to have up here. I actually replaced both top and bottom with this size because Ace didn't have the smaller bolt to use for the top. Also, I did both sides. The second side I literally had to snap the...- dude1116

What did you do to your jeep today?
Finally got it. There was barely enough lip to bend the seal. I tried that for sure. I had to use the slide hammer I rented in a not so ethical way. I took the internal 3 claw puller, and twisted the slide hammer on until the threaded portion of the hammer was pushing the 3 hooks out. The hooks...- dude1116

Mine had metal and I'm replacing with the same. Current status- bearing slipped by the seal. Seal is not wanting to budge... I don't think I have a Dremel attachment that can cut this metal. Also a bit nervous about cutting it without buggering up the tube.- dude1116

What did you do to your jeep today?
Also forgot to mention that I have a socket stuck to the lower end link bolt that won't come off for anything. I may just install the bolt back with the socket on it. [emoji23] Might be easier than finding the bolt or trying to remove the socket. It's a 9/16 socket because the 15mm started to...- dude1116

Sway bar end link bolt
Anyone have specs for the lower bolt? I know it's an 18mm...but anyone have thread specs? I guess i can bring a bolt up to Home Depot or Lowes, but I assume that they're not gonna have it.- dude1116

What did you do to your jeep today?
Tried to do the CV, intermediate shaft, seal, and bearing. The seal and bearing are IMPOSSIBLE to remove. The bearing puller I rented was too big, unfortunately. It scored the tube a bit... Not sure what my next move will be. Also nearly stripped my lower end link bolt. Looks like I gotta...- dude1116

What did you do to your jeep today?
It was driveable. See my other post. Front drive shaft doesn't prevent the axle from still spinning. If the axle decides to bind to a halt at highway speeds...well.... Worth $75 bucks.- dude1116

What did you do to your jeep today?
Nah it was 75 bucks for piece of mind. It was driveable. I drove right up the ramp. That said who's to say the CV wouldn't just bind up on the highway and stop the wheel?? That's the last thing I wanted.- dude1116

What did you do to your jeep today?
Had it towed. Off to the parents house where I'll be eventually replacing the axle, intermediate shaft, and maybe some seals/bushings/bearings.- dude1116

Best Highway Tire For Two Trackin? Wrangler SR-A's?
No no no to the SR-As. Not safe in the rain at all. I spun out a few times using them. Wayyyy to easy to lose grip around a corner. If I were you, I'd get a less aggressive A/T tire instead of a highway tire.- dude1116

What did you do to your jeep today?
Axle has only been in for 4 years or so, maybe 40k miles. I wheel the thing. It was bound to break eventually. Timing is just never convenient. The tools to fix it are a 40 minute drive away.- dude1116

What did you do to your jeep today?
Considered driving it to look at a Rav4 V6 to replace it with. Decided to just fix the passenger window regulator. This Jeep is starting to really annoy me in more ways than 1.- dude1116
