Just got an '88 Cherokee with the 4.0L Renix engine for my son....was a deal at $800. Anyway, it is leaking through the rear engine main seal. I'm wondering how difficult it is to replace in my garage (without a hoist). I've got the Chilton's manual...and seems to be tedius (removal of starter, removal of engine mounts/raising engine, disconnect exhaust from manifold, etc.). Anyone here done it? Is it feasible in a garage with hand tools, or should I just bite the bullet and pay the $250-300 it will take to have it done at the shop?
I'm fairly mechanical...have necessary tools (I think), and also have ramps I could use to make it easier to get underneath. Any help is appreciated.
