You need to remove the c-clips from inside the differential housing. Then the axles slide right out.

Driver upper door hinge broke the welds and was completely detached from the body a few months back. I had my neighbor weld the hinge back on. What we did was remove the fender, put a wood block under the lip of the door while closed and jacked it up to where it was slightly above the rear door line. He welded the hinge back on the body and released the jack and it settled slightly lower than the rear door line.
My question is- is there a way to adjust the door at the hinge where the 3 start bolts are? The door drags on the latch pin and I have to slam it or close it and push and lift up really hard to close.
I am aware that I need a new door lock, I am trying to make this work for now until I get a chance to get one.

Remove fender. Then loosen all six bolts on door. Then close door. Then retighten the bolts. That should have them adjusted right.
If he just rewelded hinge to sheet metal, it will tear off again. It needs thicker plate welded in as reinforcement. Then hinge welded to that.

I'm not famialar with the oldies but are there bushings around the hinge pin? As well the latch bolt if it has a Torx head should be adjustable.

I plan to swap my lock mechanism because it got chewed up before we fixed the door.

I recently replaced my tcm on my 87 Cherokee pioneer L6. Because it was shifting up and down while cruising on level ground. Now I'll admit what I did next was stupid and irresponsible, I removed the in-line fuse on the blue wire with the yellow stripe that connected to the yellow wire. My brilliant idea was that "hey when this thing pops I don't want to have to go looking for it" but you know what? It was there for a reason, who knew? So I had to replace the black wire that that line eventually gets to in the direction opposite the tcm cuz it boiled its casing and the jeep wouldn't start. That done, it now starts but drive feels like when you go to second instead of fourth on a manual. Low 2 will take off like it used to but won't shift, switching to higher drive gears seems to work at speed. And I don't think it's the tcm because I hooked the old one back up and same problem, it did at least shift properly during acceleration before.
So what part do I need to replace now?

Soft line? Hard line not secure to frame? E-brake cable?
