Going from memory, the steering guard fits on the outer sides of the chassis rails - fit the jack mates to the inner side? Might need to notch the top of the steering guard to let the jack mates out though.

Jack-Mates fit to the inner faces of the chassis members (I had a pair on my 50th Anniversary)

I got a set from Discoparts at billings, £40 each.

I had to knotch out the top of my Procomp steering guard although it fits on the inside of the chassis rails.

Not all steering gaurds fit the outside of the chassis, though that one does.  The giveaway is the rear driver's side mount is cranked to clear the Panhard rod bracket.

Had the same problem on the hybrid recently, the one long bolt through for the o/s/r mounting was rusted through the chassis mounting

Loads of wd40, big 3/4 drive socket and breaker bar to crack it off, and then loads more wd and air gun it backwards and forwards for about half an hour to release it from the rust then tap it out, keep spinning and oiling, knocking it back in and out as you go to let the lube penetrate through the mounting hole
good luck :wink:

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Ok i have now invested in one of these

Gas Torch

you buy different nozzles to get more heat. i've gone for the 1230 nozzle as my gas bottles are only 6kg caravan ones (of course it was out of stock :roll:        2 days by post).  

Nozzles

So hopefully when then wind and rain stops we can have another go

If you can get the nut off, grind the head off the bolt, then tighten the nut while someone else drifts the bolt out from what was the head end.

 Combination of the nut pulling against the rust, and the shock from the drift usually moves the rusted bolt quite easily.

Heat and WD40 should shift it eventually.
