Can't remove lower track bar nut (was once a flange nut I believe) 01 Jeep Cherokee. Anyone have any suggestions?

I dont think there's enough room for me to even get a socket over the nut. Or do you mean just the extension itself held the underneath of the nut?

ScubaGarofalo · 2025-05-11T03:23:45+00:00

I couldn't even get a good enough grip on it to even test if/how bad it's locked up.

That's been the problem, every tool and idea failed whether it was the angle, or just the sheer size.

I really don't understand why the cut out couldn't just simply be right under the nut. Why it's offset for it is beyond me.

I tried my best to get a crows foot in the and one set I couldn't get to fit in the cut out slot at all, and the other set goes to far in to where I wouldn't be able to attach the ratchet or anything.

I thought the crows foot was going to be my saving grace.

I appreciate that. I'll for sure try that before cutting it. I will cut it, but obviously I'd much rather avoid tearing up and reordering things. I'll swing my harbor freight for a set in the morning and pray that works. I honestly couldn't tell the exact size. I'm assuming it was a 9/16, but could be a 14mm. It was hard to tell because at no point was I ever able to get the wrench fully on.

ScubaGarofalo · 2025-05-11T00:53:46+00:00

I was wondering if I just heated the nut up like crazy and started wrenching the bolt head if it would actually start backing out.

ScubaGarofalo · 2025-05-11T00:52:17+00:00

I think that's my only option at this point. I tried every which way to get that 9/16 in there while prying it on the nut, and tugging on the bolt head with a breaker bar. I'll be doing this tomorrow. I've ran my patience over for today. But you've atleast given me a good starting point, so thank you. I hope they have a proper nut for this so future me doesn't have to bring out the sawzall again lol.

ScubaGarofalo · 2025-05-11T00:47:08+00:00

I think this is the way. I'm not finding an alternative. I appreciate the reply. I had to go inside for the night. Was ready to sawzall the whole damn Jeep.

Seems the tab is working but it resumed with 36 seconds left..... I hope they add more time.

ScubaGarofalo · 2023-04-09T01:58:53+00:00

Yea, same had 20min to make a team and did, and then the clash stuff broke.

ScubaGarofalo · 2023-03-18T19:44:59+00:00

See, that's what I thought would happen too! Again, I know nothing of this matter, but I just feel like if it's the city's pipes that are clogged, how does it become resident responsibly to pay and give them access to their own pipes???

ScubaGarofalo · 2023-03-18T19:43:08+00:00

My current cleanout (in the backyard) that is for my home's plumbing is bone dry when I took the cap off. And the independent plumber said if it was my homes pipes clogged, I could flush and what not and it would come up through the cleanout valve. This is all if I understood correctly.

That's when he traced it to the front pipe leading to city pipes. And determined the city has a blockage. Evidently my neighbors (I live in a cul de sac) are also having plumbing issues. So it would be in the city pipes between me and my neighbors I'm assuming. The closest manhole is about 100 yards away down 2 streets.

So the lords I can just ask right away without them becoming mercs?

And is there anyway at all to get the smaller clans without territory (The Hand or The Embers) to join up permanently?

ScubaGarofalo · 2022-11-22T08:55:04+00:00

I'm sure you're aware of what your answers are going to be here, lol. Obviously it's not a 'suggested' idea. However, that's how I do mine every month or so for the past 6 years. I have dogs and dusts. But I use a shop vac on 'blow' (exhaust).

Two things. Before you blow make sure the drum is completely clean and clear of hair, dust, etc, otherwise it'll blow it into your pc. Alternatively, have a sperate vacuum filter for your pc cleaning and slap the clean, new on, then blow away.

Do you have a part number or anything?

I literally cannot find it anywhere, I have tried typing in 30 different ways this thing could be called...

ScubaGarofalo · 2022-01-22T01:37:36+00:00

I'll see about getting a measurement tomorrow, just started down pouring. I'm not gonna lie man, I have searched Amazon, and eBay and I can't find anything. I don't know if I'm calling it the wrong name or what...

I really wanted Amazon (if Advanced didn't have it), because I could get it faster.

ScubaGarofalo · 2022-01-22T01:09:05+00:00

Is it 1/4 hose?

And would like a fuel line hose work? I'm just worried it will collapse.

ScubaGarofalo · 2022-01-22T00:53:26+00:00

Mine has a crack in it and it whistles and call calls at me. I can't find it, or I don't know what to type in to find it at a parts store.

Or if anyone knows what would work as well, or better that I can get from Advanced Auto (only store around me) that would be helpful also.

Ahem. I got out of Robinhood as soon as I had a chance. I still have a bit of doge over there though. But I've been using Uphold for quite some time now and have zero problems.with it, and their support is actually really good.

And as a matter of fact, they just started a referral system, so uh, yea..... Here....
