Good ol' Liquid Wrench ... I remember as a kid in the 50's, my Dad always used Liquid Wrench (of course as a kid, the name fascinated the hell out of me). So I grew up using it. After almost 50 years of restoring antique cars and tractors, I still use it and have always had decent results.

. Ha, good one Shatto ! I just noticed your avatar and realized you're the same guy that used to post some interesting pics on the "MoPar Chat" board many, many years ago. How have you been ? I rarely visit that board these days and believe it or not, it's still going.

I am wondering about a couple of things after reading this thread. One thing is that my '04 Wrangler (4 cyl w/ stick shift) only shows a part number of "56044" on the label. No other letters or numbers. It does, however, show a TEM0354SGGHU and a Motorola P/N 12A460SGGHU. I thought the p/n of...

. Sounds interesting ... I'm not sure I'm totally following you though. It sounds like you disposed of the dog bone pieces and used the 6" bolts instead. But I don't understand how you mounted the bolts to the crossmember. Would you have a picture available ?

. Oh yeah, I've been using the snout extender and soaking the top of the things by going in through the little notches on the sides. I also noticed a couple guys cutting some access holes in the floor above the bolts. I hate to do that because the Jeep is really a mint condition body.

. I was wondering how you eventually made out with the shock change ? I'm getting ready to do mine and even though it's a 2004 "down south" vehicle with only 60k miles, the bolt area looks nasty. I have been doing a once a week spray with PB Blaster for the last month though.

. How did the rear shock change go ? I'm going to do mine soon and I guess that sometimes the top rear shock mount pins can be real buggers to get out ...

. Thanks for the link. Wondered if have you installed these yourself ? They evidently bolt in (as opposed to a weld in application)

. I'm not familiar with pin eliminator brackets. What are they ?
