Came across something strange last night while attempting to install my 1.75" Daystar spacers up front. The instructions tell you to simply "Remove rubber bump stops, then remove the bump stop cup". In the provided illustration, it shows the cup being removed with a socket and ratchet. Uh... I tried to remove the rubber bump stop, and it appears to be vulcanized to the cup. Not only that, the cup appears to be welded to the longer section of the standoff (the long portion that captures the spring).
Did earlier XJ's come this way, or have I stumbled on to yet another goofy mod done by the previous owner? Am I missing something?
I'm going to break out the grinder tonight if there's no good explanation. I'll just cut off what's there and redrill and tap for another bump stop.
