I havent gotten under the blazer since. But I'll see if I can find some pics on my phone during the work day

I'd be interested in seeing what you were looking at.

so this is the pic I have at the moment. As you can see one bolt is longer then the other. The longer one came off the zr2. THE LONG ONE WILL NOT FIT ON THE REGULAR 4X4, but you are able to use your original bolt. The brackets and plate both came off the zr2. I put the bracket on a socket, and was able to hammer off the little piece that is attached to the hole on the bracket, where the bolt goes to the lower control arm location. it is not installed yet as I havent taped the three front holes yet, but I bolted it to the brackets for a test fit, and it was golden. Hoping to get it on before the snow, but scheduling isnt the best at the moment. |

My apologies for not having photos...the parts yard is never kind on my phones so I typically leave it in my glove box to avoid issues. If I find myself back out that direction I'll find a way to grab some photos if there's enough popular demand. |
Okay, I can't be the only one who has faced this. I'm trying to get the bolt out on the passenger side to install the bracket at the oil pan skid plate and the bolt doesn't have enough clearance to come out! Any tips/advice? The vice grips were there to try to get a bit more clearance, perhaps I need a C-clamp or something bigger? I also tried cussing at it, but perhaps didn't try hard enough.
Also, I realize there is grease on the left side of the photo. It's from my CV shafts...soon to be remedied. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...40029dc09e.jpg |
The engine needs to be jacked up a little. Put a piece of wood over the entire oil pan, 2x6 should work. Then jack it up.
I did it with the engine out lol... dont mind the mud, I took it just after going through the outskirts of a corn field... https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...772958c952.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...9d5f57ee3c.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...9971fa77d9.jpg |
I forgot how much that skid plate protects from all the mud and Ice
|
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...8fb4081d60.jpg I was able to get a bigger clamp in there and create enough room to remove the bolt and install the bracket. Not sure exactly how I would jack up the engine using a 2x6 unless I removed the engine mounts. Seems like an excessive amount of work just to add a bracket...if that were the only route I'd probably find myself running a skid plate with only 3 bolts. |
Put the wood on the jack, to not damage the oil pan, then raise the jack. itll raise a little without removing engine mounts...
