Going to be replacing the rear shocks with Bilstein 5100s and this will be the biggest job I will do on my Jeep! What tools do I need and what should I look out for? I have WD40 and some basic household hand tools. :smile2:

I bought my jeep used, and the last owner added a locking nut to the spare tire, but didn't give me the key. the link below should be a picture of what the head looks like. I've been looking online to buy the same lock, but I can't find any markings that indicate a brand, or serial number. I...

I have a '99 XJ and I want to take the NSS out to clean it. I've looked at many tutorials/videos on how to do it, but I'm running into some thing that I'm not sure is just part of the process, or the result of a stuck/rusty nut. I had no problem getting that top 12mm bolt out. I read to loosen...

Whose got a good tip for freeing up a stuck axle nut. This thing is REALLY stuck. Almost certainly hasn't been removed in the 23 year life of the jeep. Soaked it in liquid wrench and WD-40, tried a breaker bar, tried a breaker bar with two people, tried a breaker bar and a 3ft steel pipe with...

This nut fell out of my 01 this morning. I started up the Jeep this morning and it fell out. It was laying under the skid plate, more rear than forward.

Ok quick question... I need to replace 3 stock nut and cotter pins for the 2 tie rod ends and the pitman arm tie rod, but cannot find them anywhere... I have found castle nuts that are 1/2 20 which seems to be the correct thread, but the castle nut is just a nut with a 'crown' on top. I have...

The nut welded on the inside of the frame broke free. The bolt is free floating in the hole. What have others done in this situation? Here's my plan: Cut a rectangle on the bottom of the frame rail, but leave the black lines intact. Cut in the middle of the rectangle, and fold the two flaps...

Ok so the shock stud that goes into the rear of the frame busted inside the nut and is pretty much seized in there....i used a screw extractor but its drilling into the nut and part of the bolt because it doesnt center itself..any ideas or help??

I know I saw it, can't find it now. 2001 lug nut torque anyone? Also, I use anti-seize compound on marine outboards, which typically have pretty low torque specs, and never had anything work loose. Thinking of using it on everything Jeep, after breaking off all those upper shock bolts. Is it...

Anyone use locking wheel lug nuts (the ones you need the special adapter for to unscrew one of the lug nuts on each wheel)?
