Probably the only way to remove this and saving the grommet with a bit of silicone afterward would certainly be better than trying to fill that big hole.

You can release the brass connectors from the plastic shell with a thin instrument like a dental pick or jeweler's screwdriver. There's a tab accessible from the connection side that you push down to release. The connectors are also available new - look online for Packard 56 connectors.
Will do, anyone out there with extras?fsj454 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 4:22 pm Hi . That's common in the rusts belt . Been There Done That . When you buy a aftermarket bushing kit it comes with 10 bushing and you only need 8 bushings. So I had 2 extras bushings that I installed on that rear body support brace that you are working on so I have 4 body bushing on my rear to even the load . I am doing jeep FSJ number 2 as we speak . Ask around other members mine have the extra 2 bushing that they did not need....

Cut out the mounts today, this end is the worst, but other end is headed that way. Since only 12” or so on each ends affected, considering welding about an 18” section of 3/16” or 1/8” angle iron directly over each end after drilling out bolt holes.
Better ideas?
Update, I reported on another thread of mine, apologize for redundancy, BJ’s had agreed to sell pairs of the rear mounts separately. Unfortunately they are configured backwards, waiting on BJ’s reply, hopefully they pulled wrong pair. Will keep everyone updated.
Going to scrap metal place soon to hopefully find 2 1/2” wide angle steel close to 18 gauge steel to overlay (from the backside) the rusty ends on body mount panel. Flat steel overlay for the frame ends easy peasey, other than being a newbie welder.

I really gatta replace all of em.. the rest on the body are litterally falling off.. but im not looking foward to doing it.. im 100% certain every bolt will break.. or break the nut certs.. and i gatta fab nee mounts too as some have rusted away where the rubber goes in
