This is my first post, and first want to thank everyone for the knowledge I have scavenged for the last couple weeks...Thanks!
I have a new XJ (2001) that I am currently working. I got under to change the T-Case fluid yesterday and noticed that one of the t-case crossmember stud bolts (the rear one) was broken off in the frame. I drilled it out to 1/4" and tried the easy out...guess what...it broke off in the frame.
I have drilled a 11/16" (cuase I have a couple sharp ones from drilling knuckles) hole in the frame rail next to the stuck bolt and am attempting to brake the nut zert free. I have one side broken free. When it is free, I will fish a bolt down through the opening by the front control arms using some weed eater line and down through the opening where the zert was...then tighten it up...
Your thoughts...? I did read the other options...and now I know there is a way to access from the inside...should have read before I drilled, etc...My only other thought is to weld the rear to the frame, but that would suck when I wanted to drop the t-case...(which I will)
Thanks
