Title: top bellhousing bolts on jeep YJ/wrangler
Post by: JackstandJohnny on February 12, 2015, 12:42:32 PM
instead of putting the reverse torx back in i'm going to use real bolts.

I thought it was 3/8-16 x 1-1/2 in my 05 TJ with the 6 spd

Yes, but you left out the part that you needed the breakerbar after you were turning the wrench the wrong way.

Straight shot with an impact if you let the tail hang down.

ians just being funny,

but i did have to put my lil' breaker on it.  just an awkward position couldn't get any leverage.  popped them out, replaced with the proper bolts so next time the slave cylinder craps the bed it won't be that much of a hassle.
