This is a good I used a similar seal on my daughter's Jeep Cherokee 4 and bought two if this is the first time
4/5

had enough time to try this on my Jeep TJ 4 yet. I. 0. Based on my experience with the 4, I would not recommend them. If this is the first time you are buying two, do yourself a favor and purchase two. My first attempt was a mistake since I had not installed the two components The piece unit has a secret, and since the instructions online are a bit unclear, I did not realize my mistake until after I had already made one attempt. You might as well get a new pan gasket while you are doing that since you need to remove the oil pan in order to get to What's great about the 4 is its flexibility. A key feature of the 0L seal is that it has two seals The seal is one piece so that the transmission does not need to be removed. This is one of the bad things about The code is 0L and it is a two-digit code Leaky seals are more likely to occur with piece seals. The good news is that there are some great articles on changing the seal available on the web. Although it sounds simple, it isn't The oil pan must be dropped, the last bearing cap removed, the old seal removed by drifting it with a brass drift, the new seal put into place, and the bolts assembled and inserted. In the kit, there is a plastic tab with no instructions on where to use it. The secret is in that. Make sure not to cut the top of the seal when you push the seal into the crankshaft groove with the plastic tab. Specifically, it describes how the guy said he should "hold his finger to the seal and keep it hard. ".

As it is so annoying to replace this multiple times because it was not done right, please take your time
4/5

Due to the fact that my former mechanic failed to clean the rear main properly, both seals set by him failed and I ended up fixing both myself since I could not get them working. The keys to keeping your joints and corners leak-proof are sealant and tape. Make sure that you clean the bearing cap and channel in the bearing block in a very systematic manner. A good cleaning is needed for them. The top seal was inserted into the block with the help of a syringe laced with dish soap. Use a horn as a guide and push it right in. How simple it is! Just inject all the way into the hole until it comes out the other side. This works every time. Be careful handling the seal and use a horn to avoid cutting it. Just in case, I had two seals on hand since my local store does not have them in stock. I think that is a reasonable insurance plan for the time it would take to replace this. Taking your time is essential, because it is painstaking to replace this multiple times because it was not done correctly and people tend to cut corners when it comes to When it comes to steps to do a simple task, what you're doing is right up there with replace seals on a D30. Put it off as long as you can.

The seal is of good quality
4/5

The seal is of good quality. You can find plenty of DIY videos on YouTube if you do a quick search. With this particular product, the only issue I encountered was that it came with a "shoe horn", which is a device that allows you to slide the seal into the block without damaging it. Long story short, I watched a video that instructed me to fold the fatter edge of the two sides inward in order to create a v shape. It was impossible for the seal to start in the slot after getting it that way. It was fairly easy to insert the skinny end once I used it. Now that it has been installed for almost two months, there have been In addition to cleaning the gunk out of the pan, I replaced the oil pan gasket while the oil pan was off.

It seems that you have a double lip
4/5

If you are hoping this seal will address the worn groove on your crank journal caused by a lot of miles, this seal is not for you. Seals the mouth with a double-layer of lips In my opinion, lips should be 5mm apart. My crank journal has a groove about that wide, and I hope it doesn't leak when it is installed, since there is no way to install a sleeve kit on an There are a few other doubles as well You can find lip crank seals for this design out there I'm not sure if they're wider, but it would be wise for the manufacturer to become aware of this difference.

The application will not be available before late 1999
3/5

The Jeeps have no more than 0 liters of fuel. I believe I found mid-year changes to the Jeep Wrangler in 1999 once again. This model will fit the Jeep Wrangler 4 for 1999. You can order it through Amazon. This seal is for a 0. 0 liter engine. Unfortunately, there are no cutouts in the seal for the tabs that appear on the lower half. If you use a razor, you can cut them off, but if you use a Wrangler II with 4 blades, you can cut them off much faster. The only two half circles that can fit perfectly appear in your search for a 0 liter engine. As far as the seals are concerned, they appear fine and should work as expected.

Models 2000 and 2001 of the Cherokee will not fit
3/5

Despite the fact that the part fits the 2000 and 2001 Cherokee models, it is not the correct part. 2000 saw an update to the bearing carrier. Part number 40183 is the correct seal for you if you don't need the side wings on the lower part. Due to the fact that I had already pulled the oil pan before I realized it, I had to cut out the sides and install this in my Jeep this past weekend. Whenever I see leaks, I'm going to keep watch, and I'd be very upset if I had to do this.

The driveway in front of my house There have been 25 of these rear main seals replaced on four different vehicles so far
3/5

My friends and I are planning to buy 0L jeeps. In this case, it leaked three weeks after the installation. You might want to look for a different company if you need this common item.
