Removing bolts from T-case...

[Kimbrough]

I have my NP208 T-case (thanks Jaz/82!) to swap for my NP229. 2 bolts were bent during shipping. How do I fix 'em?

are you talking just 2 regular old bolts or like 2 studs set into the case itself? I'll assume your talking about 2 studs, are they threaded into the case or splined? If theyre threaded get a double nut on the end and twist it out.splined in I guess try some vice grips- worst case scenario you're looking at drill and tap with a easy out. Needless to say be very gentle if its a aluminum case. Sorry I'm not more help,heven't had to deal with that particular situaution yet.

P.S glad your back in town,heard your last shoot got fouled up with 9/11 and all. :rolleyes:

yes,they are simply threaded in. try the double nut method of extraction and just thread sme new ones in...

Trickc - call me about my parts Wag body!

Scotty - Cool, I'll give it a try!

JAZ/82 - yeah, sorry to tell ya but the "command-trac" emblem is smashed into pieces - no biggy. Haven't checked the rest of the case - looks like it took a really long drop - I'm sure its fine.
