4.0 main bearing bolt size question
Hi all
I am trying to change the rear main seal in my 1997 4.0 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have been pretty much over my head in the whole project. In trying to remove the main cap, my 13/16 socket seems too big, and my 20mm socket won't fit on the main bearing bolt. Does anyone know what size these are? At first, I thought the 20mm socket just needed to be deeper so I just got back from the store with a deep socket and it doesn't fit on either. I do not have a factory manual. Thanks in advance.

You could measure across the flats. It's a SEA (inch) engine. The next

I don't think you have to remove the main bearing cap. I've replaced the
rear main seal in my 91 YJ and never had to remove the bearing cap. I don't think the GCs are much different in that respect.

That would be a trick I would like to see.....
The seal is fitted 'under' the rear main bearing cap in 2 halves.... Mike reconair wrote: > > I don't think you have to remove the main bearing cap.
