Easiest way to change TJ rear shocks?

Jul 06, 2003 3 Replies

Anyone got any secrets or tricks to change these things out. I just bought my shocks today, and took a look under there to see what I was up against. I just want to get an idea before I start wrenching today. Thanks

A long extension and PB blaster the night before will help a lot.

Guy I worked with on the orchard in Virginia had an old pickup with a shock mounting bolt that just wouldn't come loose. After rounding off the head, he had a couple of beers to think about it, then got out his 44 Magnum. He loved to shoot that thing, at anything. There was a ten inch oak stump in his front yard that could testify to that fact. He eventually got the shock mount to come off with the 44, but there was nothing to bolt the new one to now! Oh well.
