   Loosen all the body mounts and only remove the bolts from ane side at a time. Jack up that side with a floorjack with a board on top and the loose bolts on the opposite side volition keep the body from shifting.

   Y'all may have to weld a nut on the torx to get them loose, y'all can get a wrench on them and the estrus will assist intermission them loose.

   The body mount bolts on my '93 YJ were rusted fast. No amount of oestrus or penetrating oil (even a combination) would loosen them. I had to cut the boltheads off and then cut the interior floor above the bolts to remove them completely. I later replaced them with Grade eight bolts. I welded Grade 8 washers and nuts together in place of the factory hardware that was within the flooring. Adept luck to you!

   If you hateful the ones for the factory roll cage, I accept read somewhere that you should first loosen the bolt on the back (significant the ones that connect the extensions to the roll bar) so the ones that attach to the windshield. I would also recommend a skillful amount of PB Blast, as those Torx can easily be damaged (ask me how I know this!).

   Likewise, make sure you are using the right size; in case of Torx, a smaller size will sometimes experience as if it is the right size, and so always endeavor one larger size to make sure!

   Hope this helps, 'crusade I have NO experience with body mounts!

   i find that an angle grinder and a little dexterity works on the frozen torx. afterwards burning the heads off the bolts , the pc thats left commonly backs right out with vise grips. must be the estrus and vibration of the bending grinder. especially if you are tossing the old hinges anyway. i've done three this style with good results. and like dandoc said, the torso bolts tin can be a real treat. break'em and drill'em , bolt on with thick washers and exist done with information technology ! ( the one under the seats is in a closed frame section and requires a more drastic ready. the inner role being at an angle its veryhard to drill . might have to resort to welding a nut to the frame. proficient luck !

   Howdy All,

   Thanks for the advice. I'm about to tackle this having just been laid off. A few bolts are at an angle, I assume from the right forepart stop crash. The residue are at the appropriate angles. I volition supersede with new bolts.
   I am also going to repaint the underbelly with the rust-terminate the jeep mags talk about. Any communication?

   onward and upward,
