maddzz1 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I need to remove the NSS to get the top tranny line connector out. I removed the nut and the star washer and it still wouldnt slide off. The FSM didnt say to remove anything else (except the plug). I didnt want to pry on it too much. Am I suppose to remove the adjuster bolt too?

maddzz1 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks, chris. I just went and read gojeeps site. The way the FSM words it it sounds like it is just an adjusting screw and not actually a bolt that holds it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 you need to put the nut almost all the way back on in order to remove it, then use that and HEFTY amounts of lube (not wd40, PBblaster) on it applied at least once a day to the spindle for a few days before you try to pull it off. anyways...I see no reason to pull the NSS to get the connector out...the connector is a quick-connect and can be removed using a socket once the trans line is out. if you're doing it because of a broken clip in the quick-connect, I'd just get in there with a small screw driver or likewise and break it out.

Why no PB? :dunno: I used it on the 97XJ to get it off, one squirt, 5 secs, and it slid off. I wiped it off real quick and I had no problems, switch worked fine.

Thanks, Pat. All of the quick-disconnects seem to have become don't-disconnects. Since the disconnect won't disconnect the only way to get a socket on would be to cut the tranny line. If I pull the NSS I will have enough room to get a wrench on it. The tranny connector and the NSS have been soaking in PB blaster since early yesterday. The new connectors I got have an o-ring on them so I don't think I will need any type of thread sealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 how wd 40 displaces moisture... try putting it in any sort of cable, then let it sit a few weeks...try it once. I lost my front teeth (which are now fake) because my brake cables (2 weeks old and lubed with wd40) seized up at the skate park...not fun Thanks, Pat.

I got it off. It is a 7/8 box wrench so there wasnt much room for it. It would hit the floor board or be against that torx bolt in front of the connector or hit the rod for the NSS. Once I removed the NSS I was able to get it on up by where the harness was. Last resort was to cut the line since I was replacing them anyway. But I couldnt have the truck out of commission much longer. If i cut the line and still couldnt get it off i was screwed, if i left it on i could run a soft line up front to connect the two lines (one from upper rad hole and where i cut the main line behind the disconnect) and be able to drive it Anyone think its a good idea to wrap some tape around the disconnect to prevent dirt and gunk from getting in there and jamming them up.
