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!

Re: XJ T-Case Drop Kit
The stud is not welded but can be a real pain.
I tried double nutting, I tried 'warmth', I tried the stud remover (the
uniframe will bend before the stud breaks), I tried welding the nut to the
stud and using the impact. I ended up cutting it off flush... drilling and
tapping.
My suggestion, use square tube for the drop. Put a nut inside the tube on
the stud and bolt the crossmember to the tube. Use a long bolt on the
opposite end into the frame.

Re: XJ T-Case Drop Kit
Great, thanks for the info. I planned on double nutting it and putting some
heat on it. Worst case I can drill it out and re-tap it. I just wanted to
make sure that there was something to tap into, (worst case)
