Well when I pulled off the steering box all 3 bolts broke off and now the spacer is stuck to the steering box, anyone know where I can get one of these real quick like?

I can't do that. I need one tomarrow and cheap a stock one would be great but I can't seem to find any in the parts stores.

Do you have a welder, drill and a grinder?

Nope just a drill and grinder.....

I think I found one I can get tomarrow. If I can't get it I'll get some tube and make some till I can.

well i did'nt find one, the dealers are on back order and have no idea when they'll get them. So it looks like washers for now.....

FYI the bolts are 7/16-14......and usually once they are broke in the steering box, you can get vise grips on the end and turn them out, after you remove the spacer part....more than likely that is where the bolt is seized and not in the box itself

Ya I got it off....in about 10 pieces.

Doh. I had the same problem. Ended up using a propane torch and heating the spacer and tapping it off. Lowes didn't have the bolts I needed, ended up having to go to tractor supply for them.

I have an intact spacer, but I'm a little bit of a drive for a triangle shaped piece of aluminum.

JRC !!! they are less than a hour from you !

 

[lastmanstandin]

I called JCR this morning was gonna drive there but they are 1 hour 20 minutes from me so I'm going to order it and have them send it to me. For now I found some tube at the steel place here in town and had them cut me 3 pieces. Should hold for now.

when I had a local stealership swap out my steering box they just stacked washers up behind it after the spacer shattered.... and they were a jeep dealer at the time.. LMAO..
