I have an 05 TJ Sport with a manual i6. I have been to my local dealer 3 times and I want to get the transfer case nuts that attach the transfer case to the skid plate. There are four of them. The dealer tries to give me nuts with lock washers but I would prefer to replace with the original nuts (they have been explained to me as cone shaped so there are no lock washers required).

Any ideas on part numbers or a way I can get the original nuts?

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, they are 8mm flange nuts in the most common thread pitch.

IIRC, a 1/2" socket will fit on them just barely and a 13mm fits better.

If that doesn't work, then I'll remove one from our 04 and get the exact size for you so you can order them from McMaster Carr.
