Repairs on my leaking seals and shocks are going bad, need help please.

It sounds like they might have given you parts for the wrong year, maybe the 97' and up. Try Napa they tend to have better parts anyway. As far as the lower shock bolts you might want to have someone try blowing them out with a cutting torch after the shocks are off. If you have enough of the bolt sticking out you can try heating it with the cutting torch first and getting a pair of vice grips on it but it still might not be enough to break it free. I usually use an impact and maybe a little heat from a propane torch for shock bolts. Have you got the top ones of yet? Those are usually a pain. Most people usually cut access holes in the rear floor and patch them up when they're done.

Thanks for the reply seu83, Looks like you are pretty new on here too. Sounds like you have some experience with them. I am completely green with these Jeeps and I guess some of my request may be kinda dull to some of the ole timers on here. I am not the one doing the repairs, I have it at a Chevy Dealership. I have some friends there and that's why it's at Chevy. Unfortunately they know GM. the repairs look extremely simply
and I didn't think we would have much problem.

I do have the rear shocks off. The top nuts were very easy get off to . One of the bottom ones however, the nut snapped right off. I am not sure if I follow you on the vise grip deal. There is plenty of bolt sticking out of the mount. it just looks like it does not come out. The bolt/stud comes through the mount, but on the backside of the mount, opposite of where I broke the nut off. It is encased in the mount. The mount is welded to the frame. Bad looking design to me. Are you saying that you came work that bolt/stud out of that mount?

Regarding the input output seals, I guess it could be possible that whoever had it before me could of perhaps put a new/ older model T/C in it?
