Default 6cyl 4.0/243 oil filter adaptor leaking - 02-14-2007 , 07:30 AM






Am looking at buying a Cherokee but there is an oil leak from what
appears to be a right angle adaptor for the oil filter...Anyone know
how to tighten/loosen/remove the adaptor and what holds it to the
block???...Allen head/bolt/bolts and what size
wrench????Thanks...David,

That is an easy fix! First go to the DEALER and ask for an oil
filter adapter "Repair Kit" and it will come with all the O-rings you
are going to need. The end of the adapter pointing toward the frame
rail has a TORX driver depression in it that you can't see. I don't
remember what size it is, but do NOT buy a cheap one, try to find a
one piece Impact style that is made in USA. Just unscrew that bolt,
disasseble the whole thing and reassemble with the new O-rings.
During dissassembly, I had to "help" the Torx driver along with by
Channel Locks on the head of that large mounting bolt to keep from
rounding out the drive depression!

Good Luck, Bruce

It depends on the year. My '93 had a 14 mm (9/16") allen hidden in
that dirt.
