Good luck. The wedges are held in place by a piece of spring steel. That is part of the handle.You can do a little prying to release the wedge . If they break no loss, you"ll have new ones.

Ok ,I am getting a noise that sounds like my speedo cable was about to break.The speedo was bouncing a little.So this past weekend I pulled the guage and checked the cable as I had what I thought was a replacement.Original cable is ok lubed and no unwanted twists or damage. Cable spins freely in...

I had mine out when I repainted my jeep. I think that there is only one rod going to the latch,the hardest part is the "toothed" wedges that hold them in.A little hard to get the right angle on them but they come out relativly easy and are easy going back in.

check spark plug wires for arcing,also I saw on TV last Sunday a new product that contains zinc for all of us with older vehicles and flat lifters.I think I saw it on extreme 4x4 or Trucks. I'm sorry I didnt get the manufacture or name of product.

Chrysler TF 999. I have a 1987 and my buddy has a 1990 . Both are automatics and both have the same trans. I had done some research last year and this is the one that was listed. Used mostly by Chrysler in medium sized trucks and jeep

Check the big things,Frame,engine ,trans etc. Check suspension,look at fluids,does it look like things were factory mounted or did "Bubba J" use self tapping screws to put it together? look at all attachment hardware on the roll bar grill areas of points of impact etc.. Many vehicles are theft...

keep in mind heat transfer metal to metal contact etc.. If your motor hits 220-230 its going to get hurt before your transmission. but safely speaking 215 is about as high as I would personally be comfortable with. You could always talk to your local trans shop for thier recomendation.

Plastic coated gears are utilized for sound deadening purposes only.Think of a racing engine under tremendous stresses. Plastic will not last! Torque that motor hard lose the plastic ,jump a few teeth and bend valves ,breaking pistons and losing a whole motor gets real expensive. I will deal...

Definatly look for a fuel injected year. I sold my 95 yj automatic which was fuel injected.I drove it everywhere and at 168000 miles never doubted its reliability. I loved it never a problem! but it was gutless with the AC on. Sold it and purchased an 87 yj 4.2 carb for the 6cyl full doors and...

well mine were plastic coated and the coating was GONE and laying in the oil pan

definate on the pressure regulator. I have run solex carbs for years on VW's and other cars and none could handle much pressure. I had float issues and constant flooding because they have bad needles and seats.

i just recently changed out my timing chain etc and retimed mine.Was a pain at first as my harmonic balancer had slipped so my mark was off. I used a dial indicator to find actual TDC and then remarked it. I have since changed that. Although my 87 is pure stock (thank to Calif regs) I am running...

keep in mind that paint dries hard.If it bends it will crack or break off. Auto makers have developed flex additives for paint to be applied to bumpers and body kits.Although this may work the paint and materials will far exceed the cost of new flares.

Looks good. I just restored an 87Yj and my top was already black. I prepped it out and washed it with TSP and then wiped it down with Prepsolve to get any silicones or wax residues off and sprayed it with Rustoleum satin black.Its not quite as glossy so its a little more forgiving if you have...

I sometimes catch wierd looks from jeepers when I wave while driving my 07 GMC truck

welcome to jeepz

Love the heat here in So Cal.The nice thing is the humidity is very scarce but when it hits I can feel your pain. Palm springs Cal was 126 and raining 2 years ago while I was there. The Hotel swimming pool water was 104. Santa Clarita where I live has seasons which is nice to have 100 degree...

Bert try email for 4.2 vac diagram lv8rman at peoplepc do t c o m Randy

Ok Bert,My 87 is the same as my friends 90 and the "hard" red plastic line comes up from the harness goes into a "T" with a check valve. One side goes to the large hose on the canister under the battery,the other end runs up around the rear of the valve cover ,"t's" again with a hard metal line...

Charge battery to full capacity.Hook up a voltmeter accross the terminals and have someone start the vehicle while you watch the meter.IF your charged battery is at 12 volts or more and the meter reading drops below 8.6 volts your battery is gone! or will soon be. Batteries are known to take a...
