Thanks for all the great techniques! I didn't get to try the redneck method but it does look like fun so maybe next time. Success was a result of a combination of methods...a ratchet strap from the frame to the UCA mount, a prybar and floor jack rotating the axle, the bottle jack pushing the mount back, blocking the passenger front tire, a c-clamp crimping the cheap sheet metal UCA together, and of course a little persuasion from the BFH. I have a picture I could send if anyone would like to post it for general amusement.
After that it was just a matter of the rear upper shock mounts (all four broken of course). I drilled and tapped one side and knocked the other side out and replaced it. All set with BPE's and shocks installed. Now the only painful job left is getting the lower swaybar mounts out so I can install the JKS pins. I don't remember it being this hard last time but I lost a T-55 bit trying to turn these things. I now understand the pins are press-fit. I've taken a break on this one after trying the blue wrench and BFH for a while. Also soaked it in PB blaster but they're on there pretty good. I thought this stuff would be easy on a newer jeep! So anything I missed on this one? Maybe just a larger hammer?
