I found the same... So I just made a plate...

Will the mechanic "swear on everything he knows" that he can fix the death wobble?! I agree... until he experiences it he doesn't even know.

To remove the stud: screw two nuts against each other. then un-screw the top nut so it locks against the bottom nut. if you can get some penatrating oil and squirt it into the Bolt hole so it hits the stud (inside the "frame") this will help. also HEAT! if you don't have access to a torch, a map...

My wife had the same thing happen to her. She was on the highway when it happened... when she pulled over and popped the hood, the fan was touching the fan shroud. Limped the XJ home, bought a bolt extracter kit, and a rethread kit. I think i was able to get one bolt out, and had to drill and...
