Akula69 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 I started the engine work on the Christmas Jeep today, found that one of the exhaust studs had been broken off by a PO and spent two hours drilling, using easy-out, and re tapping the hole. So, I need to purchase a exhaust manifold stud, (it is the one closest to the power steering pump) along with the dome washer and nut. I know there's got to be someone in here that has an engine thats shot that would part with one! I also am in the market for the wedge-shaped rubber pieces that are riveted to the tailgate and the inside of the bed (where the tailgate closes). Lastly, I'd like to pick up several of the door stops, as mine have broken. Thanks! :D
CWLONGSHOT Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 I was able to hammer out a bad stud and use a grade 8 nut and bolt in its place. CW
Akula69 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 I was able to hammer out a bad stud and use a grade 8 nut and bolt in its place. CW Might have to do just that, but figured I'd try. Today was the day for broken bolts...I broke all 5 getting the water pump off. I was *&^$% beyond belief. I just hope God doesnt hold it against me for questioning this engines' mother and heritage.... :no:
Unglar Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 I'm going to the JY friday, i'll check the MJ for those tailgate pads. I think I have the same snapped manifold bolt on my spare 4.0, how do you use a # 8 bolt there?
STERLING STINGER Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 dosent anyone heat up their bolts anymore... i havent broken a bolt yet....not even an endlink :dunno:
STERLING STINGER Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 oh yeah, I'm gonna look for those rubber pieces for your tailgate....i think i got some :thumbsup:
