I got 3 spinners on here. Any tips? I think I’ve exhausted all options that I’m familiar with. Fuck. My. Life.

That's sucks, I had over half of mine spin or break off when I did my rear corners. Spent a day cutting and drilling them all out and then started again. The second time I ran a tap through each nutsert after installing to clean up all the threads. After that I had no more issues.

Ughhh, and you can’t back the screws out?

I got 2 of the 3 out. There’s no way I can get the last one without cutting it off. Lots of lessons learned on this project... also reminders of basic mechanic habits that I seemed to have forgotten, like putting a screw in or chasing threads before putting the actual component on.

If you wedge something under the screw head while you're trying to back it out you may be able to get them loose that way. You may be able to re-crimp the nutsert by adjusting the crimp depth screw if you're careful.
Are all 3 on the same side? I do have one on mine that's loose and I just left it that way. 3 though, you may want to at least get a couple tightened.

Thanks. Yeah they’re all on the same side. I haven’t even started the other side yet.. I’d like to get at least one more in... though I’m thinking I’ll need to cut the last bolt off, take the whole thing apart again, and somehow drill the nutserts out... oh and hope the other ones don’t get messed up somehow. lol.

How did you drill them out if they’re spinning?

I've got a spinner on mine and it was slightly off so it cross threaded. Which is actually what caused it to spin. I left it alone. Since its counter sunk the only way for me to get it off would be to use a dremel with cutting and grinding wheels. I see it taking me a long time to get the head small enough it'll slip through my armor. This is why I left it..haha.

I drilled the ones that broke off and cut the ones that were spinning. Most of them the head was out just far enough I could get a blade behind them. It was by no means a quick or easy process but the second time around it worked really well.

If you only have one spinner I would leave it. Not worth it.

^ This. If you can get the bolt out, I’d cut the shaft off and then RTV the head onto the skins so everything looks good. That’s what I did anyway.

I might just do this on the two I got out and hope I don’t take a hit. Lol. I’m in way over my head on this thing already. And I haven’t even started the other side yet.

What a Mess!!!

Was going out for a late night snack last night. Jumped in and started her up, sat there a minute fiddling with the radio (thought I heard something strange while fiddling with the radio) Threw it in reverse and nothing, Shut it down and tried again and nothing. Like what the hell. Jump out to investigate and find this.:eek: Trans cooler line popped off. What a fucking mess :icon_crazy:20200326_234847.jpg

That was your jeeps way of telling you to stay home.

On the bright side, better in the driveway than out on the road.

Definitely better to happen in the garage. Sucks about the mess though!
