Need some help with my YJ

Ok, does anyone know if the bolts for the flywheel on this thing are one-time-use bolts? A friend of mine told me a lot of cars used these and that I'd need to check and see if mine were. Anyone have any idea?

i don't think so... if you have any doubts, go get some new bolts, can't cost that much.

I do not think so either. If they come out and are all boogered up get new. If not put thread lock on em and torque em down.

Well I'd be glad to buy new ones but everyone is telling me 3-5 business days to get them. lol So I was hoping they weren't one time use ones.

If the dealership does not stock em then I would bet on em being multi use.

I have always reused the bolts and just put some threadlocker on them.

Pulling the tranny would be much easier than pulling the engine. I just pulled the transfer case and transmission on mine and it took me part of an evening by myself. Get at least two other guys to help put it back in, two underneath and one up top. The hard part is getting the the tranny to slide back in the pilot bushing. Sometimes it slides right in, other times it can be a pain. I would say plan an evening to pull and an evening to reassemble or it can all be done in a weekend day.

The tranny is already out. We only worked on it for 2 hours the first night. We didn't bust our balls on it by any means. We got it out the next day. I've been busy as hell so I haven't been able to get back in there and finish the job. It'll be done this weekend though.
