can someone tell me how to install a transfer case drop. Mine came with no directions yet I would really like to do it. Thank you for helping me out.
To remove the stud, just thread a second nut on it and turn the first off against the second.xj92 said:Each side has 1 bolt and 1 stud with a nut. The studs are a pain to get out because the nut comes off and the stud is left there, but it's too short for a drop spacer. Best way IMO is to weld the nut to the stud, or have a shop do it before you even start. Should be VERY cheap at a shop or free if you know them well.
I suggest using the 2 nuts like JNJ said, if that doesn't work then use the vise grips. I have know that vise grips just to slip and tear up the threads. Heat is very helpful, and I can't recal if I could get some PB blaster in ther or not.family XJ said:For the studs I just heated with blue torch and used vice grips. Took all of 10 minutes. Good luck

krh9848 said:I used two pair of vise grips. One pair I placed on the stub as tight as I could get it and locked it down. Use the second pair to tighten the adjustment nut on the first pair as tight as you can. Then using a hammer tap the vise grips attached to the stud to loosen. Worked like a champ got both of them out with no problems.
53guy said:no, it's just a stud in the frame on a nut welded there, so yeah, lol, guess there is a nut in there, but none that you can get to. you try heating it? you might just have to soak it in pb blaster for a few days then try again, but dont, whatever you do, break it off in the frame, 'cuz that sucks getting it out.
I would have to agree. Having heard all about PB Blaster all over this BBS, I finally bought some. Every nut/bolt I couldn't get off has come right off. Now this is on a fairly non corroded '01. But prior to the bath in PB, the nuts/bolts wouldn't budge. Buy it, try it!Creighton said:PB is cheaper than buying a torche. So thats step one. just soak that damn thing every day and try again in a few days.
