XJ T-Case Drop Kit
I am getting ready to install a t-case drop kit and had a quick installation
question.
On each side of the crossmember there is a stud and bolt holding the
crossmember up. The question is, will that stud come out so I can replace
it with a longer bolt?? My fear is that there is some sort of plate that
the stud is welded to.
Does anyone have any ideas??

Re: XJ T-Case Drop Kit
Yes.
That stud will come out, but it is a bear to get out from what I have
heard.
I saw a post where the gent used a 'stud extractor'. Something like one
of those wrenches that fits a bunch of sizes by getting smaller as you
tighten it.
A plumbers pipe wrench acts like that too, it gets smaller as you pull
harder and likely would do the job.
I would start using a good penetrating oil on it a few days before
trying to do the job.

Re: XJ T-Case Drop Kit
Another technique is a double nut where two hex nuts are placed on the stud,
tightened agaisnt each other and then a wrench is placed on the nut closest
to the frame to turn them and extract the stud. As Mike said, use
penetrating oil well before the operation is tried. Good luck!
