Hey everyone. I just picked up a 91 lifted for $350 (some pictures in my album). The jeep's got what I think is a blown head gasket or cracked head. Coolant pours right through the tailpipe if I fill up the radiator. Anyways, I also got a parts jeep to go with it. I'm planning on pulling the head on the '94 parts jeep (both HO) and getting it planed, new head gasket, etc. I hope it's not the block that's the issue. I can't hold onto the parts jeep as it's in my apartment driveway and I need to get rid of it in a few days. The parts jeep also has a nice set of tires which I'm putting onto my other '91 DD. I got two of them off and switched, but one of the rear lugs is seized and I already broke two lug wrenches (cheap ones that come with honda accords). Anyone know what size the lug is? I'm going to get a socket and try the breaker bar with a pipe. I already hit them with PB blaster.

Also, I went to pull the rear wiper as the one I've got is broken at the pivot joint. I unscrewed that one nut, but it won't pop off. Anyone know how to get these off? Do I have to pull from the inside?

I'd also definitely take some suggestions for pulling the cylinder head, or what other easy parts I should grab. I think I'll take the radiator.

Thanks!

 

Broke a breaker bar today on the lug nut... Turn's out it's a 19mm socket by the way, and under the "lug cap" it's 15mm (which I haven't gotten to). I got a map torch and a friend's got an air impact wrench, so hopefully that will do the trick.

 

Youre on the right track on the lug issue, but I have never had a breaker bar break before the lug gave way.

 

you're right about the 19mm with the cap, but without the cap its a 18mm, not 15mm like you said. sucks that it wont come off, but you'll definatly want to try to remove it without the cap. get a 1/2" breaker bar with a 6 point socket, and try putting a cheater bar on it to give you extra leverage. also instead of pulling or pushing on it to turn the breaker bar, position it to where you can stand on it, you'll use less effort and exert the most force on the bolt to break it free. thats what i do in the junkyards when lug nuts wont come off...works every time. good luck, and keep hitting that thing with PB and you should be good to go

 

Finally broke free with a 1/2 inch craftsman breaker bar w/ 4' pipe. Now I'm on to stripping the head out. I got the wiper arm off (small tab under pivot joint and then pry off).
