There are lots of ways to successfully remove the upper shock mounting nut and bolt on the front end of a Jeep Wrangler TJ. This just happens to be the way I used, and I found it to be relatively easy to do, and doesn't require any special tools or skills. I know some folks prefer to cut the bolt, torch it, etc... but this method just seemed simpler. The longest part is just breaking that bushing off... but it's not hard...it just takes a minute or two of work with an old screwdriver and a hammer.
Do you have an easier method? Tell us in the comments.

Head mounted cam?
ReplyDeleteYeah... just experimenting with new ways to provide info... this was a learning experience because I see the fender was blocking some view since I was working slightly above head level... Like it? Hate it? Next video has a different view I am trying.. ;-)

ReplyDeletei did, agree the fender was in the way partially, but overall i thought it worked well. While this would be more work, have you thought about capturing the video with one of your rock cams and the Seicane? Then do voice over? the mag-mount and size of the camera may help getting into the small spaces...
ReplyDeleteThe quality of those cams wouldn't be good enough. My main footage is all 4K and this cam lets me grab 2.7K video (cropped 4K). I could stationary mount it...but I am experimenting with the POV experience a bit.

ReplyDeleteAnytime I'm replacing front shocks and the ones I'm removing are junk I grab the sawzall. A few seconds and the shocks are off.
ReplyDeleteA large pair of slip joint pliers on the dust cover of the shock works well too.
