Back on the rear bumper project on the '96.

Tried to bust the bolts on the rear bumper brackets, the ones holding the plastic strip and the ones at the bottom.

Shot with more PB Blaster (5th day), tapped, wire brushed, no dice, yet. Rusted solid in a mere 20 years.

Also, is there a PN for those threaded clips which are on the rear bumper brackets (face and bottom)? 'Thinking these may not be usable.

Thoughts(?), please and thank you.

I had those (clip/nutz) break on me on my front bumper so I just went and found some matching nuts.

Try the ask a question thread and you will need to supply more details on the Jeep.

That's the pressure relief valve. You probably overcharged the system leading to very high head pressure. The valve provides protection from something nastier happening, like blowing a hose apart.

It should not have damaged anything aside from possibly spraying your distributor with a mix of refrigerant and oil. The best thing to do would be to have the system evacuated and charge in the proper amount of refrigerant by weight, maybe a little oil to replace what was lost.

See the stickers all over that say to be serviced by a trained professional only? Yeah? They're trying to keep people like you from touching it.

Do you know how much refrigerant and oil it was supposed to take? Do you have a gauge set? Do you have a vacuum pump? No? Take it somewhere and get it done by someone that does.

It's not a Cherokee, it's not mine, and it's not today, but over the weekend I helped my nephew change the upper radiator hose on his Durango (related to the WK2. That's close enough right?)

Browsed Craigslist for Comanches last night and got depressed.

Adjusted my a little more. Realised I'm out of travel on my hi-lift before being able to lift tires. I guess it's time to do 2x6 rockers.

New rad and water pump Edit. It posted in the wrong thread and wrong photo? Nice glitch iPhone app? Right when I complimented it too.

How the hell do I delete the photo?

Changed the drivers side u-joint yesterday into today.
Seems like the caps and rings for the inner, longer section are always super tight/stiff.
Anyone else had this happen?
