I quickly realized that dealing with broken upper rear shock bolts was something that most TJ owners are going to have to deal with. I was glad I was not alone. Internet searches revealed tons of people asking the same question as I: "How to remove broken shock bolts on a TJ"! Sometimes you can't put enough PB Blaster on these things to get them to break free without snapping!

I read all of the tips and advice, watched a bunch of videos... and tried a lot of things. This video, however, demonstrates what I found to be the absolute EASIEST way to get those pesky bolts out with a minimal expense. You don't need a huge air compressor and an air chisel. You don't need a special little palm hammer. With a Dremel and a single punch and hammer, you can knock this out! (Pun intended.)

Most people probably have a Dremel, but you may or may not have the 90 degree adapter. Here's a list of the products I used to make this simple job happen:

Here's the Bostitch Palm Nailer that I tried and found no value in for this project:

And finally, here's the air hammer and chisel bit set I tried. Again... I found it not necessary for this project: Ingersoll Rand Air Hammer 114GQC: http://amzn.to/2y4xWkj
