You will snap off at least one of the upper rear shock bolts.
Jeep in their wisdom used an un-plated self locking hardened screw on
these.
Use PB or some other good penatrating oil a week or so before the job.
Buy a M8x1.25 tap and a carbide dremel burr. I tried a cobalt drill,
but it wouldn't touch them. Broke three out of four on my 2000 Cherokee,
but only one on my '06 LJ.
