I agree. It was a pain to remove the rear seat belt buckles. The locktite they used on them I literally had to buff off so the bolt would thread in better.

 

I haven't seen anyone complain about bolts falling out either!

Heat my friend, lots of heat (not a torch, the bushing will melt).

 

Hey guys, to the people who had this issue, did you have any problems tightening the bolt back down after you got it out?

I'm looking at that top bushing, and worried that once I get it out it won't seat correctly to tighten back down. am I looking at it correctly that the hex appearance of that bushing is supposed to sit in the frame to keep it from spinning?

 

if anyone comes to this thread asking the same question I did... yes the hex head of the bushing sits in the frame and that's how it's held in place. but spinning does not "strip" out the frame. when I put the new Isolator bushings in my truck they bolted down just like from the factory with no issues what so ever.

 

Nothing on my truck has been bad. But I'm coming from a 1994 wrangler. Owning an older jeep its literally like a 6 hours process to remove 4 bolts.
