How do you pull the pinion shaft on a front D30? When I checked the hole I couldn't find any kind of pin

Just a quick update, got my new undersized bearings today (the only ones I could get). Ran the cap bolts to 80 ft. Lbs and the plastigauge says I'm within specs, so now I can actually start on my rebuild now

Yes it's on everything, I'm going to go get some plasti gauge tommorow

I got my block back from the machine shop with new Pistons and rings, I dropped the crank in installed the rings, dropped the Pistons in, put the caps on. With everything loose it's hard to turn the crank. When I put 20 ft.lb. on the caps I can't turn it at all. Before I took the block to the shop I re ringed the original Pistons and turned the crank just fine the box for the Pistons says it's over .040 and that's what the shop did to the block. Any ideas?

Just got my block back from machine shop. New cam berings, punched out .040 over, new Pistons and rings. Crank is in cam is in, had to take a side trip to make a deal for some stock eliminator rims

Is it just going to be a straight swap and then plug the cad lines?

I just got a front axle from the junk yard and I was going to swap diffs, but now that I thinking can I just swap the whole thing? It's out of a 92 Cherokee and doesn't have the cad. And yes it's the same gears as the rear that's why I bought I right now I have 3.07 front and 3.55 rear

Tyvm, going to start working on it today

My MJ has 3.07 front and 3.55 rear, I just got a 3.55 front axle, did jeep put a crush sleeve in the diffs? Haven't even looked at them yet.

Look what I stumbled on to

I talked to the owner of the mj's. He told me he had one more. When I asked if I could go look at them he said he'd rather I didn't due to the fact that he was servery injured in a car wreck in the maroon/ purple one, I told him why I wanted to look and that I respected his wishes he told me as I was leaving that it was good to run into another mj owner and it seems that we're few and far between. It was nice talking to him but I hope I didn't bring back too many bad memories

While waiting for a tow truck driver to let me into a yard to let me into a yard so I can empty out the SUV I was driving that got totaled, I ran across these

Low KBB 3,000 high 11,000

FYI, the reason everyone quit doing electrical wiring that way is due to fire, I just rewired my friends house, he had knob and tube.

It runs from Lynnwood down the east side of lake Washington to southcenter mall

Nope, Western Washington, Snohomish county

ok, with work and all the other stuff people want me to do for them this isn't going as fast as I wanted, but that's probably a good thing as I'm not racing through this. I accually think about what I'm going to do when I get home on I-405. As of right now left in the block are the cam and crank. I've lapped #1"s valves, put new rings on #2 (that's where the crank was) and tomorrow when I get home it's time to start honing the cylinder walls. I'm off to bed need some sleep

Really bad blow by, started spitting out the throttle body, lifters started making noise, faint but noticeable rod knock all this with a pretty new oil pump and within about 36 hrs

So as of tomorrow my mj is no longer my DD, with over 500k the engine is starting to do things I don't like. But I'm in the process of rebuilding another 4.0 so hopefully it will be up and running for another snow adventure.I'll have updates when I'm able but now it's back to getting greasy

I had to go to Lowe's and get some Hardie siding for my mom's house. As I pulled around to the lumber area I happen to see another MJ backed into a parking spot. I parked next to it went in got my siding and as I was strapping my things down the owner came up. We started talking about our trucks, her's a 86, lbw, 4.0 auto. I told her about the site (she never heard of it) but she said she would check it out. She told me about all the work she had done to her MJ then said she was quoted $1000 to replace the front u joints. I told her that was way overpriced.

I found a 4.0, hardly any ridge at the top of the cylinder walls, need to fix the car I bought to drive while my mj is down but that's easy. Thank everyone

So I went to check my tranny fluid and while trying to get the plug out I bumped the front driveline, to my shock it moved. Then I noticed that all the bolts that hold it to the xfer case we're gone. Can someone please tell me the bolt size of those bolts, much appreciated

Tyvm, that's why I posted the question

I had to retire my mj till I get it the way I want it, the 4.0 has 500k + on it. While at the jy I found a 98 Cherokee w/o and, can I upgrade and use this booster? I read on here you can use a booster off a 96 w/o abs can i use a 98? thanks all
