I think they are called Nerzt? They are the threaded inserts they give you to install when your adding mopar parts (skid plates, rockrail, etc.). What has happened is I ordered a set of factory rockrails. They came in, where the wrong color and ended up being for a 2002 model KJ instead of the 2005. Anyways I tried to install them and got the drives side threaded inserts installed. The rails didn't fit. I sent them back and today I got in my replacement rockrails. I opened the box and discovered that the brackets and bolts where different. The new rockrail for the 2005 CRD use a U-shaped hook that slides in the holes in the frame. So here in lies the problem. I have installed eight threaded inserts in my drivers side frame. I now have to figure out how to remove all eight of those inserts so I can use the u-bolt things. Anyone have a clue how to remove those threaded inserts in the frame??? |

Who's fault was it you got the wrong rails? If it was the dealers fault I'd say it's the dealers problem.. those things weren't designed to be removed. |

Try carefully grinding the head of the nutzert off with a side grinder. |

I ordered them online so I really can't take it into the dealership. Anyone think I would really be messing up if I took a 1/2 drill bit to them? I have to use a 1/2 drill bit to drill the other four holes required to attach the brackets. |

Just an update. I used a 1/2 drill bit to drill out the inserts. It worked just fine. It really didn't even mess up the hexagon shape of the hole. Just an FYI. |
