Title: Cherokee 4.0 oil filter adapter
Post by: Fredduck on April 10, 2016, 11:39:19 AM

Have any of you guys removed or repaired the oil filter adapter on a 4.0 in a '90's Cherokee?
The centre bolt is being a biotch, and there is a good oil leak from the block to adapter O-ring.
Any tips or tricks?

Probably easier to pull the entire motor and replace it with a 4bt.

Changed mine. Bolt was like  locktight in. Bigger snipe bar.

I only have 1 of those, and it's being used right now  ;D
