Got my parts ordered. Thanks for the help everyone.
Gonna spray those bolts right away. I find Kroil penetrating oil works pretty good most times...

Good for you.
Kroil huh?
You use the expensive good stuff. LOL.

I prefer to categorize it like this.
Now everybody sing along.
M-I-C K-E-Y M-O-U-S-EEEEEE
LOL.

I forgot to mention when I did them I had the Jeep on jack stands on the uni-body.
Used the jack under the diff to adjust the height where I wanted to get the sway bar in the bushing
and bolt it closed.
Not sure if all that was necessary but...............

John T

Well, I heard everyone raving about it... so I bought a small can on the Amazon.
But yeah, It ain't cheap.

I buy PB Blaster by the gallon at Home Depot. LOL.
Thinking it cost me $20.
I save the Loctite Freeze And Release for the critical I really need this to come out without a problem situations.

John T

yeah I still have a couple cans of PB hanging around.... same thing, I save the kroil for important stuff......
Kinda like a high quality IPA vs coors light.....

I need to get me some of that loctite freeze too... looks interesting..

Ralph77

Kinda failed me on the one bolt I told you I snapped when replacing the bump stops.
But came through like a champ when I busted a bolt doing my water pump.
But I did have enough stud showing to grab and it came out on the first try.

The rear sway bar isn't needed , remove it and forget about it.

John T

Thanks for your opinion.

I missed an opportunity to buy NINE gallon cans of it for forty bucks a can.

Craigslist deal. I thought about it for a day, then it was gone.


By the way, on that suspension part you want named... I'm thinking "Ralph". It just looks like a Ralph sort of part. Call it Ralph.

Ralph77

Hey I resemble that remark. LOL.

Would he have sold the gallons individual?
Cause if so you should be ashamed of yourself for not grabbing one or two of them. LOL

BlueRidgeMark

Yes, and I am!

Ralph77

I guess I shouldn't talk.
About 5 years ago this guy local to me on Craigslist was selling a Detours Tailbone.
Wanted $250. Was listed for sometime.
I even called him.
Here is the kicker. The guy was throwing in the stock bumper with the cut outs you need to make to run the Tailbone.
Oh but it gets worse (better?).
The bumper was black just like mine.
Literally would have been a straight bolt on.
Did I buy it?
Noooooo.
Been regretting it to this day.

Finally got caught up on everything else in life and took advantage of the good weather today...

Actually went pretty easy... bolts came out fairly easy...
thanks for all the help.
