Front locker install

[SquarEyd]

I am in the process of installing a lockright in the front of my YJ and have hit a small bump in the road. (maybe not that small, more like the size of a large tree.:skull:) I have the carrier out, and in the process of removing the dowel pin that keeps the other pin in place, I have seemed to of exhausted both sets of punchs I bought today:oops:. I have either broken or bent all of them!!! Can i drill the pin out? Or am I up the proverbial creek without a paddle? :aagh: If I am, does anyone have a spare d30 carrier for a YJ with 3.55s lay around :confused:

Also, hypothetically, if you were to remove the lug nuts on your front wheel, and one of the lug nuts became rather attached to the stud it was on... do you have to replace the whole hub or can you just replace the stud? :skull:

you are punching it the wrong way...try the other side :)

i did the same thing on mine.

you can cut the lug not off and press it out and press a new one in, If you need a the 3.55 and a carrier I was just about to post my old one up for sale, have the pinion too if you need it.. it is from a XJ so it is reverse cut I can't remember is the yj's are.

EDIT: YJ's are reverse cut so it would work.

I did, but it is fairly well stuck in there...Might be due to the fact that there is half of a punch still stuck in the other side...... Im gonna take it to work tomorrow and see if I cant get it to work then.. if not, im breaking out the drill

Alright, I was able to get the pin out so im good there.

Where can I get a new stud to replace the one that snapped off in the hub? alos a new lug nut?

[SquarEyd]

Thanks
