Jeep XJ 4.0 Liter Engine Oil Adapter Seal Replacement
Просмотров 47 тыс.6 лет назад
A relatively technically simple repair to make, but for some reason is neglected, and misdiagnosis can cause owners to believe their rear main seal is blown (which it could be). An oil soaked starter and a filter covered in oil points to this little adapter. Now I won't lie, I think I had it pretty easy. I've read horror stories of people trying to remove the adapter bolt from the engine; from ...

    This video was helpful, however, the only thing that wasn’t “correct” in my repair was that the T60 was not correct. I am gonna assume that someone replaced my OE version with a replacement as I actually needed a 5/8” Hex Head to do the job. I ended up using a Hex-Head-Sockey and removed the hex rather easily. I was also able to replace it with minimal difficulties. The actual “repair” portion of the video was spot on correct. Thanks for the help. This fixed my oil leak.

    It always best to work on a hot engine. Bolt doesn't expand as fast as the engine, So the bolt just unbolts a lot easier. That is how I got mine lose after breaking 3 12mm wrench.

    Do not torque to 158 ft lbs!!! That’s too too much, I’ve stripped the hell out of the car body. Hate this guy.

  • @dalemihocik4732
    @dalemihocik4732 Год назад

    To prevent premature failure of the control arm bushings the arm needs to be at ride height before being torqued down.

    I did this repair and between 2 people the rear retaining bolt reinstall took close to 4 hrs to install. This video is a great guide but be aware there can be issues that are unforeseen when doing car repairs. In my case the housing that retained the rear portion of the control arm was under great tension. The tension would not allow me to enter the bolt at 90 degrees. Through some sweat and curse words i was able to bang it into place. Always have a back up plan in place aka a tow truck rental and a knowledgeable mechanic as a back up if you run into trouble. I followed this video to the letter and it was a great help.

  • @mikeb6902
    @mikeb6902 3 года назад

    what I did for the retainers on the subframe bolts, I took a paint marker and made a small mark at the same spot on each retainer and the subframe, used different colors, but now I knew the orientation for reinstall. Great video.

    • @Rixhard69
      @Rixhard69 2 года назад

      So those two 15mm top bolts don't need replacing like the21mm head cradle and pinch bolt? Been looking for this little bit of info

  • @mikeb6902
    @mikeb6902 3 года назад

    do you think it would be a good idea after all the bolts are in, not torqued down yet, but to put a jack under the control arm and lift it until the vehicle is barely off the jackstand and then do the final torque?

    • @Ramn8tr
      @Ramn8tr 2 года назад

      I followed the instructions that I had to the letter, and it didn’t mention doing this anywhere. I don’t think it would be necessary though, considering the bushings have a metal sleeve.

  • @fakesfraudsfools9649
    @fakesfraudsfools9649 3 года назад

    Compared to mine. You didnt have a leak. You have a leak when the amount of oil dripping on the starter causes the starter to go bad. That's a leak.

    • @Ramn8tr

    I've been fighting with this thing every oil change for 4 years and finally got it off the other day. I ended up using a torx bit from a socket and a ratcheting wrench, and my jack handle for leverage. Came off super easy.

    • @JeffDeWitt
      @JeffDeWitt 4 года назад

      It IS an adapter so the filter doesn't stick straight out... there isn't room for that in an XJ. It might be that there was enough room in your GC so they didn't need the adapter. Does the filter stick straight out or is it parallel to the engine like this XJ?

    • @DL-by8el
      @DL-by8el 4 года назад

      I don't see it on my WJ good thing. My filter is straight out to the side perpendicular to the engine on the 4.0.

  • @metaldemon60
    @metaldemon60 4 года назад

    I welded the T60 into an old wrench. Then I did it from the bottom, where there is more room to work. The T60 worked on my 98. My 94 was a 14mm allen. At some point they changed it. Just saying. Now I have to do my 99 that I just got. The seller thought it was the rear main, the way the oil blows back around the oil pan when you drive.

    Well done video. Best I've seen for this job on this car. Loved the little tips about aligning bolts with pin punch and pry bar. Also the recommendation to replace the whole control arm rather than mess with the bushing and a ball joint sometime later. (Which has to have the rivets drilled out and replaced by bolts).

  • @DoneWaiting
    @DoneWaiting 4 года назад

    Great video, thanks for the step by step. The only detail I found was that all the hardware on my car was standard sizes. For anyone watching just check the bolts sizes mine were definitely not metric, so use standard if needed to keep the bolts from getting damaged. Thanks again for this video.
