Man I'm working on mine right now. Thanks for sharing, I followed this video to take it our and now attempting to put it back. What a freaking nightmare that top bolt. My censor on my muffler right there, keeps my shift from coming down further and man. It took me over an hour if not 2 (if nit longer lol, that I'm willing to admit) to get that top one. It's so hard because that stuff behind the bolt. Never again man, if it ever God forbid goes again, I'll freaking pay for it somehow haha. I'm a framer, I can work on many vehicles and I've done mechanic work, but nothing quite like this lol. Yours looks like you have a tiny bit more room then I did lol. What a mess. This car is so bad underneath, busted boots everywhere, bad shocks, I have a crack going around where that drive shift connects to the trans? (I think that's what it is) lol. So who knows what's going to happen with that. Of course my heat doesn't work, like every other 07 nitro or liberty lol. It's not a bad car and I like it, but man I wish I didn't have so many issues. It leaks water into the doors, too. The seals need to be replaced. There is a ton of rust underneath, like it had come from up north or sat in a river for months lol. I'm a Chevy truck guy, but my starter went out in my 2009 chevy Colorado, 5.3 V8, what a beast. Love it. Bought my first Colorado brand new at 18/19 yr old in 2005. 3.8, 5 cylinder, loved it, had it for 12 years until someone totaled it on me. Anyway I couldn't afford to get it fixed at the moment. So I was building a deck for someone, I noticed they had the Nitro in the yard so I asked what they were doing with it. So we made a deal where I I took half the price off. It's a vehicle and that's all that matters lol.. I'm working on it now, I'm praying this works. I'll lyk how it goes, bud. Thanks again for posting this

Nice vid. Saved me dropping the crossmember to remove the driveshaft. You can save some hassle on those starter bolts though & use a very long extension & 15mm wobble socket. No wrenches needed.

Top bolt on these is the worst you'll ever see. lol.. It's right up against the body and there are brake lines and/or fuel lines running right in the way and nothing can get in there hardly.. Even a wrench has no room to move.. I finally did get on it with a swivel and a ratchet-- but the bolt has no room to come out-- so you have to do it last; and as you are unscrewing it, let the starter push forward and fall out-- rather than the bolt coming backwards. I guess you could cut wrench in half and make it work.. but man, what a nightmare spot.... I come in with a 2ft extension.. You have to start from the angle of: more towards the center of the truck and go up and over the drive shaft.. if you get the right angle, you can force it on there with socket and a swivel.. I would hate to remove it with a ratchet though-- make sure you have an electric powered ratchet or a light impact, etc.

Did you remove any o2 sensors at all. Do I have to put lock tight on the bolts when I put the driveshaft back on?

I found that removing the upstream oxygen sensor makes room to run a wrench on the top bolt.

Good. I considered that, but decided against it, as sometimes o2 sensor removal can be unpredictably troublesome..

+bessemer- tech yea my 2007 nitro was on a hoist for 2 weeks just to replace the oxygen sensors. The down stream wasn't to hard I got both done in one day. But the up stream were just a pain in the ass to get them back on.

I think the up stream you have to take those off, and the down stream is good I don't think you have to take the down stream off. Hope this helps
