Boom. There's your answer. +1 Salad.

The bolt is likely in a bind. Adjust or move supports to release tension.
It helps to remove the Torx bolts first.

Ah ok, i thought the 297x's were the larger version that was also used in the 96 and older ones. So basically ive got the 260x. How do you get the larger ones to work? Just new shafts?

The only reason im concerned is because i will be locking the front soon along with the rear, stock 3.55 gears and 33s. Id rather do what i can to make sure nothing explodes on me.

Your '96 should use the larger style joint. Did you measure?

Anyone know if all year jeep xj AW4 transmissions have the same valve body?

My muffler fell off. Just looking at a direct fit replacement to the tune of 26" if I am reading correct. What type of high temp sealant is good to use to seal the pipe fittings? RTV?

It broke off just past the CAT, so I'll be sticking the muffler flange to that tube after some sanding, then getting a new tail pipe. I'll have to rig up my hanger too as that's what broke off which made it all fall apart.

Um... steel wire...? lol RTV exhaust

Buy an application-specific muffler if you want an OEM fit. I think more important, though, is how rotten is the rest of your stuff that it actually fell off? Time for a new exhaust maybe? lol

Yeah my exhaust headers are busted but my cat seems to work fine? It was roaring but my o2 sensors and all that show no codes. I can't really afford to do that anyway. I'm trying to squeeze in a new coolant system this year and this didn't help. It broke off cause I was dirt roading it in the mtns this weekend and it snapped my exhaust hanger from the looks of its broke off piece and the dragging muffler....

I was hoping for an alternative besides welding it. I don't want to pay for this crap to get installed. Ha ha.

Edit: What's a full exhaust install run? My header is cracked, new muffler & cat, and piping?

Oh it's red?

This would be so much easier if I weren't colorblind...

I tried, tape measures dont work too well for accuracy in the hundredths or more lol. Im gonna see if the rotor mic at work will work tomorrow.

salad

No idea on what that cost would be, not $30 though lol. Performance-curve.com I think has almost all of the parts. A local shop might be able to do you for less. If your cat works don't mess with it.

Ahhh. Yes it's cakey crap and very rusty lookin'. Cast iron sediment.

Hundredths? Size chart at the bottom here for your reference: http://www.therangerstation.com/Maga...08/ujoints.htm

Anyone with RC shackle relocation kit, how much lift did it give you? Trying to get an idea of what my rear end is going to look like (lol). If I'd need a spacer for the front or not. Going to be running stock HD rear leafs, those relocation boxes and a shackle. I'm hoping no more than 3" lift total.

Hello - I recently attempted to repair my a/c in my cherokee and using a/c sealer and a/c charger. The good news is that it worked and is blowing cold, but now the passenger floor is filling with water. I have read alot about this issue. It is certainly related to the a/c fix. I would like to try to clean the a/c drip plug as I understand that might be the issue.

Can someone tell me where it is and how to access it? Pictures would be great.

Thanks!

Look low on the firewall under the hood opposite your drip. You didn't list your the yr of your XJ. Some tubes are in the frame and some aren't.

1.066 inch cap size or 1.188 or somethin along those lines. Very close to the same size, definitely not noticeable on a tape measure. Unless I had both with me and could see which one is larger.
