or do like I did, go on ebay, buy a air angle drill for 30 bucks and gitrdone.
I figured I'll probably need it again at some point in life :roll:

You can also use a dremmel

I drilled out my pucks a little different than listed above. I drilled 1/2" through the center of all 3, but then drilled a 1" hole 1/2 way through the top puck so that the bolt head/washer are counter sunk.

I used nylon locking nuts, and to get them started in the tight space you have to work in, I used a pair of long needle nose vice grips to hold the nut while tightening the bolt with a socket wrench.

I had considered using a carriage bolt like the ones pictured previously, but then you have to tighten the nut, and given the limited space it would be a PIA.

Good buy, I have needed my right angle drill a number of times when working on the jeep, so you will certainly get your $30 out of it.

Mine have been glued down for a year now with black silicone gasket maker and haven't gone anywhere. I am anything but easy on my Jeep, they won't fall off if you clean the mounting surface well.

That's not a bad idea. I have a friend that has some crazy glue. I can't remember the name, but there was a guy who glued a broken fan belt on his boat, put the belt back on, and made it held long enough to get a boat back to the dock.

The issue I see with glueing them in place is what do you do if you want to change out your coils?

Chisel and a hammer and pry it ??

I'd use super glue or rtv glue

if ya used liquid nails you'd probably never get it off short of an air chisel :lol:

I thought of that as well cause you have to take whatever bumpstop out to change the coils which I have to do someday soon

That's the beauty of silicone, they can be removed very easily with a hammer and screw driver. Just like taking a rear diff cover off that has gasket maker on it.

Hmm didn't think of that when I glued mine last year :oops:

Guess I'll have to get the sawsall out to cut them off when I need to change coils.
