Getting the Wheeling Fever

Torx Screws have no Place in America at all. It's kind of like Jeep using on metric bolt on an 89YJ motor mount and a standard bolt on the other motor mount? No rime or reason.
ThatÆs my two cents to the conversation good luck with the rest of your change out, IÆm in the middle of swapping my 4.2 for a 4.0 fuel injected motor so I feel your pain.

Sorry not to respond earlier but was obsessed with a fix and bound and determined. Found my fix, better vice grips. Achieving appropriate torque values is wonderful but if you've ever tried to remove a 10 or later yr. old torx bolt you'd wish for a better design. Many cars were produced long term, restoration and repair depends on the competence of original design. Jeep folds on design. Love the car, but there are faults.
I just fix it, the kid drives.

restoration and repair depends on the competence of original design. I disagree, restoration and repair depends on the competence of the person(s) doing the work. It would be nice if everything was made easy for us wouldn't it? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

pete, I think he means the older the jeep, the more likely one is to end up dry humping furniture.
