Shit … that is horrible!

Oh yea, wet dog smell line! Love it

I tried to think of how to do this with a bmw … didn’t feel like pulling fuel pump fuses, … hope it didn’t do much damage!

Apparently 3/8" extractor socket works on M6 bolts. thanks to my new best friend who lead me to the replaceable part! traveling a lot lately, will post a picture of the last remaining stud that remained. Pulled that out too, even though it wasn't broken. Glad I removed it! More later, be...

Finally got those studs out! The engine was completely drained of any oil …realized I had a small oil leak (rear seal perhaps), so added some Lucas Oil Leak stuff … hated to hear the car start … but the metal on dry metal noise only lasted a couple seconds! Doh!

The world has turned upside down. Complete shit show!

Yeah, I figured I'd need heat. Being the bottom of an oil pan attached to a car precludes open flames (still like the car); but I like the solder iron idea!

Hit it with Kroil this afternoon … will let it sit for awhile. Will report back.

Busy day. found the parts, but the studs won’t separate from the oil pan. actually leaving for a few weeks, garage is a mess, smells like a giant oil spill. had to order a M6 extractor … ugh. Wish me luck I don’t shear the 1/4 inch stud remaining!

PB Blaster & a vice grip ... should do the trick. I think there is enough of the studs to get a grip on. Now, if the local BMW dealership has the part!

Jacking the car back up ... will report back!

ho-le-poo! Never thought that! Dude, you are Rock Star!

Studs extending below the oil pan to mount the oil level sensor in the bottom of the pan, sheared off (part studs sticking out). Did a brake job with my son's on his "new to him" car last week, and I stressed the importance of holding the torque wrench with two hands, to not apply any odd...

Completely non-Jeep specific related. Installing a new oil level sensor today on another car, sheared off not one, but two bolts on the oil pan. I didn't have my lift, so tried to do this project with just jack stands' height; IOW, didn't have a lot of work to with. Apparently, 20 ft lbs...

Thanks fellas!

Yeah, I started an account a little while ago. Not sure else how to be “active”?

Anyone know why I can't post in the Recycler section? TIA

Also have a '12 JK, 6 sp manual ...
