Probably a dumb question....

This is one question I wish I could ask under someone elses name!
Soooooo...on a RE transfer case drop kit....we are provided with four bolts...spacers..and some sleeves.
Problem I see is the cross member is installed with a bolts and with nuts on some studs....are the studs threaded into some type of a nutsert? Are they removed by threading on both nuts and backing out the inner bolt?
And what the heck are the sleeves for?
Rick......
:wstupid:

Use a stud extractor or two nuts back to back to unscrew the studs. The bolts will fit in the studs' place.

Thaught so.....but damn....those suckas' are on there!
Maybe a torch next!

Use a stud extractor, or you can double-nut the stud. I found it was a lot easier on mine to actually tighten it a tad before removal. Vise-Grips also work well; you don't want to keep the stud when you're done anyway.

You may have some success by giving the stud a little 'tap' upward while putting some torque on it. However, do NOT give in to the urge to whack the crap outta the stud or you'll lose the nutsert in the frame.

A small pipe wrench or good set of vise grips should get the studs out & sleeves are for wiping your mounth after a nice big juicy burger with extra sauce.
