I need to change my exhaust manifold on my 95 xj 4.0. Does anybody know of a good write up on this?

This was on my '91. '95 should be the same. Good luck. If you hit a snag, don't hesitate to ask!

 

That is way too much disassembly.

I did one a couple years back & I just unbolted the 2 bolts from the header & the tailpipe,& removed the lower bolts & loosened the top bolts.I removed it & replaced with a new one.

Pretty straight forward & a couple hours work.The ONLY reason I'd remove the intake is if I was gonna do a '99 up swap.

 

And the manifold bolts just came out? I feel if I look at mine to hard the heads will snap off...

 

I'd honestly like to know how you snaked that manifold around the intake, front axle, etc because I see now way how it could come through the top. But hey, what do I know.

And also, if you did it that way, you reused the old gasket? Or did that thing just kinda Houdini on out of there around the intake?
