jeepinxj05 · Mar 20, 2005

I was messin with the bolts on my crossmember on my '91 XJ, AW4(? its automatic) and NP242 TC. Well, since I'm so beastly strong, I managed to spin the head right off of one of the bolts! How bad is this?? Should i probly fix that soon?? Thanks all.

depends, when I was running without a bolt in the x-member, I had bad vibrations, something you will want to fix definately.

If the setup is one stud with a nut and one bolt on each side, then it's definately the head on the bolt. Will i be able to "easy"-out it??

Yup, the stock setup is one stud and a bolt on each side. An easy-out might work, but if you can leave it alone for a few days start spraying it down with PB Blaster to help loosen it.

Don't forget, it's Righty-Tighty, Lefty-Loosy.

The bolts are M10 with 1.50 pitch. A 35-40mm bolt should fit fine if you don't have a t-case drop.
