I had some equipment from the previous owner and when I was installing new shock absorbers on my XJ '01 one bolt broke and another fell off. The hardest part is either removing the old hardware or knocking out the factory welded nuts. The instructions recommend an air hammer, but a hammer and punch did the trick. After that, all you have to do is lift the bracket and screw in the screws. I don't know why I messed around with the old install for so long, I should have done that a long time ago.
