Default Spark Plugs

These were expensive. I got Uridium spark plugs. 26 bucks for one but they last 100000 kms. They were also one of the more toughest jobs done due to the awkward position of the ones drivers side. The ones on the left were easier.

Step one: Unclip the clips of spark plug housing(yellow) and Unscrew the housing(Blue) by unbolting it(red) with a size ten socket. Be carefull not to drop the nut...... they're tough little suckers to find!!

Drivers side you'll need to remove the air intake cover by undoing the hose clamp at both end see pic three and four. there is a sensor plugged into it. Unclip it if you like, I just lay the intake out of the way.

You'll need an extension piece and a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs. 6 of them on the V6

Thanks, this is a great help to those of us newer people.

Im up to 96,000km ....checked around, in brisbane Westside 4x4 want about half of what a jeep dealership wants, and other mechanics are all around the 3/4 mark of what the jeep dealership wants.
might be time to buy some new tools and follow your thread.

Default Water pump and coolant

This was a BIG job, and so $%#@ frustrating!!! But well worth it especially seeing how bad the rubber seal was on the old one (see the pics attached.

Now there is a scheduled maintenance page in your owners hand book, but i do all my servicing anyways so I figured it was time for a major.

Now depending on the model of your jeep kj you may or may not have the extra fan attached to your water pump. From what I've read and seen some do and some dont. This is a pain in the bum to get off especially seeings you need a specialized tool (spanner wrench 6958 and adapter tools 459 something or other). Basically you need this tool to attach to the water pump to hold it still to losen the fan attached to it with a size 24 spanner, it works much the same as taking the blade of an angle grinder. So I wondered around a tool shop looking for something similar as I either have to order it in from the states and wait or wait for the dealer to get one in stock..... both options were expensive, I found a $24 fix it tool hahaha.

Attached are pics of the old water pump note how worn the rubber seal was and where the leak stains were... Just surprises me how resilliant the little kj is.... I also attached pictures of the tool I bought and where it attaches. NOTE: look at the plastic rotation part of the internal aspect of the pump.... IT"S PLASTIC!!! The new aftermarket one I got is cast iron and seems really strong!!
