Steering Stabilizer

[Cfrancis09]

2009 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and I’m trying to remove the OEM stabilizer for a new one and can’t get one bolt( 18mm) loose that’s behind the tie rod bar. Shot it with PB Blaster and Freeze break many times but no luck. Not enough room to get the impact to wrench in to get it broke free. Any help will do?

Breaker bar or breaker bar with a pipe slid over the handle.

Can you heat it up with a torch and let it cool then try to remove it

I don’t have a torch to us

I've had luck with a simple propane torch. It won't get cherry red, but get it nice and hot and then bath it in PB Blaster. Make sure to not breathe the fumes! lol

It's worth a shot. I've done it a few times with success each time.

If you're talking about the bracket thats in the center of the tie rod I agree with Blackjku. I have a harbor freight breaker bar with a pipe on the handle for extra leverage. Works every time.
