I am able to fit a 3/4" diameter hose about 34" down the filler pipe and there seems to be a dead end. When I pulled it out it was dry, there is a little over 3/4 of a tank of very old gas in there so if it made it into the tank it should have been wet. Can you feed a hose all the way into the tank? I really can't get under it to drop the tank ... those days are over for me. Is there any kind of "special" tubing that can be snaked all the way into the tank? Thanks !!

Do the two front brake calpier bolts come all the way out? I've been loosening them for a while and they are still in there. Trying to remove the calipers and pads to try to free up the wheel. Both front wheels are seized up from sitting 5 years. Or am I going about this the wrong way? Any suggestions? Thanx in advance, Jim

It's been over 10 years since I've done a brake job. Are these the bolts to remove the front brake caliper? Where my finger is pointing & by the brake hose? Do those rubbber boot things come off, or does a socket fit inside? It's been sitting 5+ years and the front brakes are frozen up tight. It's time to go back on the road again! Thanks!

Can you syphon gas from the filler pipe? I have a little over a 1/2 tank of 5 year old gas in tank!

What would be the easiest way to break it off ? I'm afraid if I tried to pry it off it might mess up the threads on the tank spout. I guess being plastic the cap should break before hurting the threads.

My 86 Comanche has been sittiing 5 or so years and it's time to resurrect it. My gas cap won't come off, it's like it's welded to the body. It has the original plastic cap. I tried to remove the little nuts around it but can only really get to one. Any suggestions would be appriciated. Unfortunately it has almost 3/4 of a tank of gas ... that should be complete garbage now. Got it off ! Pried the black part off which broke some of the inner part and tapped the nubs with a big screwdriver untill the threads loosened. Sprayed a bunch of silicone on it and screwed the brokken piece part way in just to keep it sealed untill I get a new cap. Thanks for all the suggestions! Found a new replacement on Parts Geek for $7.21 !! https://www.partsgeek.com/pnkcjdk-jeep-comanche-fuel-tank-cap.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ff&utm_content=UK&utm_campaign=PartsGeek+Google+Base&utm_term=1986-1992+Jeep+Comanche+Fuel+Tank+Cap+Motorad+86-92+Jeep+Fuel+Tank+Cap+88+89&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17182816450&gbraid=0AAAAAD_bfN7_cs-QYb9GAJhA_wdPEgpOF&gclid=CjwKCAjwn4vQBhBsEiwAq3hhN2xbWSDOwmdpoQeHcYPeC8dwMTJ0pUckgpmzgA31oLHRz9XnEx35ARoC43wQAvD_BwE

How do the plastic flares come off of the fender? I only feel 3 "screws? " and they don't seem to have nuts on them. Thanks !

Is there anyone in the Springfield, MA area who can help with clutch replacement? 1986 2WD 5spd 2.5li. I have ramps, jack stands, lots of tools. Can't really get under it these days, but can do most of topside work. Not asking for free work, will pay cash for any help. Thanks, Jim

I'll try to post pics, this is very agressive surface rust. Large spots of rust that will eventually turn into full on rot. I just want to stop it before it gets bad.I'm also assking for other metal...lawnmowers etc.

What do you guys use for rust removal? Not just on the truck but anything metal. But also, I have big spots of rust on my truck...not at the rot stage, and want to address this before it turns into rot. Thanks !!!

Is there anyone in the Springfield MA area who is up to do a clutch replacement job on a 1986 Comanche 2wd? It also has a hard start issue. If you are close, I could have it towed to your location. Otherwise, I have lots of tools if it could be done at my home. I will pay cash. I need my truck!!!

My 1986 Comanche needs a new pressure plate. If I do any work it will be the whole deal...clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing. It's a 2wd 2.5. Are there any pics of any bolts on the top of the transmission??? And can these be accessed from the engine compartment...under the hood? Any pics would be appreciated. I will have to do this on ramps or jacks. Any help would be Awesome! Thank you! Jim

Floor shift here. Currently own a 86 Comanche 5 speed. Have owned .... 1967 Ford van 3 on the tree 1967 VW Van 4 spd floor 1969 Ford van 3 on the tree 1969 VW Van 4 spd floor 198?? Mercury Capri 5 spd stick 1970? Datsun pickup 3 spd floor 1987 Chevy Cavalier conv. 2.8 multi port injection 5 spd floor I guess I'm a "floor guy" ? Just want to say , the 67 VW Bus climbed an super steep hill right near my house after the "Blizzard of 78" . I live in MA and the snow was up past the wheels!

Thank you for the info but the Advance site says this will not fit. I'm guessing that because their site does not recognize Comanche's you got it to fit?

Will this fit my truck? The website says no, but I know there are bumpers that will fit even if the site doesn't recognize them. $109.00 isn't a bad price for a new bumper...I also hear I may eed to replace the brackets. Thanks for all the info!!
