I went to install my browndog motor mounts tonite. In the instructions, it says to loosen and or remove the tranfer case rubber mount bolts so as not to ruin the xfer case mounts when jacking up the engine to ease removal of the factory motor mounts.
Well i have the factory UPCOUNTRY package which includes the factory xfer case skid plate. I went to remove the skid plate to gain access to the rear most two bolts of the xfer case mount and all three bolts just spin.
Two bolts are fastened into the xfer case crossmember by what i assume are nut zerts. The third is bolted into the driver side unibody rail by what i also assume is a nut zert.
Is my only option to grind the heads off all three bolts and reinstall new nut zerts and bolts ?
This project is turning out to be a Pain in the butt. I already broke one of the three bolts off that hold the airbox into the engine bay. The 'nut' that belongs to the broken bolt is welded onto the sheetmetal in the driver side fender. Instead of drilling out the bolt and reinstalling, i think im just gonna break the nut off its weak spotwelds to the inner fender, and replace with a fresh new washer and nut underneath, and fresh bolt from above. SIGH!
