I bought all new ones and basically pried the covers off, then they just about fell away from the backside. If you have the new ones already you'll see on the sides what I would describe as ramped protrusions. Those are what holds them in place. They don't flex much that's why I didn't try...
For some reason I could not use the photo loader and had to use the attachment (paperclip) and then realized that neither were jpeg's so I had to convert them!

I replaced all of mine recently... Some were easier than others. I have a stock dash in an '86 CJ7 and most of the bulbs were more accessible with the dash loose. I did not take it completely off... Like pulling it off the steering column. There are some good pictures online that show the...
Another thing to remember... Are they giving you a lifetime guarantee because the pads are just that damn good? Or, is it because they know that those "guaranteed" pads are going to eat up your rotors? It's all economics and remember, "Nothing is ever free!" But hey this is just my cynicism...

IMHO there is always risk regardless of where/how you buy something. I bought my current Cj7 off ebay and was extremely pleased how everything turned out. Maybe I was just lucky, but I tried to do my homework. I bought my own Carfax, and I did a bit of a background check on the seller. It was...
This is a bit tongue in cheek... Rather than lose the money on the vehicle, buy your son a starter set of tools and say, "Have at it!" it will be the best investment ever, and he'll learn what it's like to own a Jeep! 😀

It sounds like you're running on your battery - the alternator is not able to charge it. Could be the cleanliness of the connections, or a bad alternator or battery. A simple test when disconnecting to clean is have engine running and disconnect battery. If it dies alternator is likely bad...
I agree with JPNinPA thoughts. If you concur with his last statement it would tend to isolate the issue to the column area by eliminating the lateral forces at work when driving and turning.
