Post subject:  Fuel Tank Skid Plate

I am working on trying to get the OEM skid plate off my 99 XJ - what a pain in the UKNOW WHAT - the object of this whole mess is to get to Fuel sending unit.
Bolts are all rusted in place - i've broken 2 so far plus 2 sockets and i'm still not there yet. :x

If he can get it out he can tap the holes to clean them out and put on new bolts with antisieze or clean the threads of the old bolts. Makes it a lot easier.

I took someones skid off a couple weeks ago and I had to use a breaker bar the entire way, but when I put them in today I could do it with just my fingers the whole way after cleaning them up.
