Wrong. just remove the oil pan, exhaust downpipe and O2 sensor, and starter. take off the crank bearing brace and finally remove the rear main bearing cap. half the seal will be in the cap and half you push out from around the crank with a small brass punch so as not to damage the crank pull out with needle nose pliers and slide the new one in ( noting that oil should go on the mating surface of the crank and liquid dish soap on the outside of the upper seal). rtv the lower seals wings (top and bottom) and reinstall. rear main cap 80ft.lbs i believe, 35ft.lbs for the bearing brace. or just follow this tutorial with pics http://dailydriventj.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=811

First u half to remove the transmission , pull the fly wheel , take off the oil pan , unlossen all the crank bolt's then you can slid the main seal out after you pull the crank down Dont take out the crank barrin's or the crank take the back barrin and pull out the main rear seal , there's one on top that stays on the block take that one out. Replace it with the new seal that slids over the crank put the one in the barrin in and apply silcone on the seal it's self put the barrin back in. start from the first one tighten then the back then repete. They need to be tightened to eighty foot pound's. Then put back together.

2003 jeep grand cherrakee larado 6 cyl 4wd , replace oil pan gasket and rear seal seal

You can do it in chassis but you will have
the trans out to do the seal. It is much easier to pull the engine at that point. The 6 cylinder is not that bad to remove.

I have a 93 grand Jeep Cherokee Laradeo ,to change the oil pan seal , and or the oil filter housing to change the O rings , or the timing cover seal or the rear seal , dose one need too lift up or pull...

The oil filter housing and the timing cover can all be worked on with engine in car.
For the rear engine seal (rear main seal), the transfer case and transmission will have to be removed to access the seal.
Most of the time, the oil pan can be removed without raising the engine. Check your clearance under there for anything obstructing removal. (I loaned out my Jeep manual and never got it back!) On some cars, engine needs to be raised about 4 inches for pan to clear the oil pickup tube. Don't know about your Jeep.

Replace rear main seal in engine

To do this job, you pull the trans, and frywheel. Rear main seal is fairly UNcommon. Most oil leaks wind up manifesting in the rear main seal area. Check other areas first, like valve cover and intake gaskets.

Oil leak where trans. meets engine. Is this the oil pan gasket? or the rear main seal?

Could be either. It's rather cheap to change the oil pan gasket if you do it yourself. That would be my first route. If its the rear seal you have to pull the trans or engine to replace.

How hard is it to replace the rear maine oil seal on a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2 liter V8 4 wheel drive

There is some work involve in replacing rear main seal, seal sit in the rear of the engine block, the transmission will have to be remove, and the fly wheel to get to the rear main seal.If you have never removed a engine or transmission, it might be best to pay and have some one do it for you.

1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee - V6 engine with a Automatic 4-speed Transmission. Unit will not shift out of 1-2 speed into 3-4 gear. I have checked shift linkage - is OK & TV linkage OK. Is there a vacuum...

The only thing that you can do is check the trans fluid.Start car,run it through all gears and end in neutral.Handbrake on.Now check the trans fluid level.Make sure engine is warm.If needed add fluid.If this is not the problem,a tranny expert is the go.There is not a lot anyone can do with an auto trans at home.Hope this helps

I have a 2006 Grand Cherokee with a auto trans. I have a leak on the right side of the bell housing above the pan. It appears to be from the wire harness seal. My question is how do I change this seal?

U replace the plug adaper it comes with the seal. If u have a NAG trans u have to take it to the dealer to adjust the fluid level. The plug is held in by a 7mm bolt use a 1/4 inch rachet with a small extension never remove the plug hot u will damage the treads!!!!!!. Use very low torque to install it does not need to be that tight.

2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo hesitates in 2nd gear when cold

Is it manual or auto trans? If manual the gear lube is thicker when cold and the syncronizers tend to stick and not slide free for grind free shifting or for locking into gear.
If Auto trans if the jeep is warmed up setting then cycle the gears before driving. If that helps then the fluid is not getting through the valve body properly. It could be metal in the body or filter or cold seals are letting fluid by til the seals warm, expand and hold pressure. I'm assuming trans fluid is good, not old. One item that can lead to poor cold shift in an auto trans is a bad torque convertor. Since it seems to be a second gear issue the second section of the trans could have a bad seal. In an auto trans I'd take to a shop and have a cold pressure test done. They will tell which one is the problem.
