Body bolts
I about to lift the body off the frame of my 93 wrangler. But three bolts
will not move. Two are just plain tight the other is spinning. I can not get to the nuts/plates to stop them from spinning. Any suggestions or help? Thanks, Dennis |
Re: Body bolts
I wish you luck.....
Not one came out of my old CJ7's body... Got lucky and snapped a few, but the rest spun and I had to grind the heads off the bolts. Tried a sawsall through the mount, but the rubber ruined the blades too fast. I am just thankful I got to toss the old body in the trash....

Re: Body bolts
Yep good luck! After having several jeeps and doing restorations and
repairs I took every body bolt out of my 04TJ put anti-seize on the threads and put them all back and I mean every body bolt.
