Is there a special trick or does it come down to brute force?   Alan Bates (Alanb) Senior Member Username: Alanb Post Number: 481 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Monday, February 23, 2004 - 10:09 am:    I removed the passenger side, it takes brute force. I got mine off with hand tools, but air tools would make it much easier.   Jaime Crusellas (Jaime) Senior Member Username: Jaime Post Number: 259 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Monday, February 23, 2004 - 11:09 am:    Its the panhard rod, just undo one end and you'll have room to put the guard in. Clean the threads off the panhard rod bolt with a wire brush and use penetratring oil to help loosen it if its giving you grief.   James Briscoe (Rockywood) New Member Username: Rockywood Post Number: 29 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Monday, February 23, 2004 - 03:37 pm:    I bought a Mantec front diff guard and I had a bitch of a time installing it. But I got it on without taking off a single bar. I had to open it up about 4 inches and then found a sweet spot to get it in there. It was like doing a rubix cube but it worked. - James   thom mathie (Muskyman) Senior Member Username: Muskyman Post Number: 620 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Monday, February 23, 2004 - 09:15 pm:    SEE HO! and you said it wasent tech Thom
