Default Flex plate question

2000 cherokee, 4.0, I-6, AW-4

I'm removeing my engine, when unbolting the flex plate do I need to mark it in anyway? Or does it matter what position it is in when putting it back together?

The bolt pattern is set up so it will only go on one way. So your good.

i have a buyer for the 231 transfer case from my part out thread and i just want to make sure it will work for this guys because he is new to jeeps and isn't sure and honestly neither am I.

I have a 90 2 door and started to replace a blown blower fuse, noticed a rather large fuse that I am not familiar with. I pull the thing out to inspect it since it is rusty and probably still factory. Upon pulling it out of one of the prongs broke off. Took a key and scratched off some rust and read 48 amp 12 volt, my question is, is it a fuse or a circuit breaker?

I can understand how this is supposed to work, but the spacers do not tuck in far enough. I am having the age old round peg square hole problem. Did I get the wrong spacers sent to me? Anybody else have this problem?

^^^ also, when you say flat side in, which direction is in? Flat side against the pin or away from the pin?

you'll be fine.

as long as the manual is an ax15 then it has a 23spline output, same as aw4's. (well, the early aw4's were 21, but im certain 91+ are 23spline.)

Hey all! I hijacked my husbands log in so we could ask a question of you Jeep savvy people! We just bought a 90 XJ a couple of weeks ago. The guy we bought it from had lost the key but had it jimmy rigged so it would start and drive like the key was there the whole time. Well, my husband has since LOCKED the ignition and now we can't start the poor girl up. Does anyone know a way to bypass the steering wheel locking mechanism so that we can unlock the steering wheel and the gear shifter so that it's not just sitting on the side of our house and so we can get it back on the road?

FYI we're legit and not trying to steal a Jeep...

Thank you so much for everyone's help! It'll be much appreciated and I will be a MUCH happier wife once I hear our little baby purr again Please PM us, just so the info isn't up for the world to see, unless you just want to reply... Up to you. Thanks again!

If you don't want to break it, there is only one way. Remove the tumbler.
You will need two special tools: a steering wheel puller and a circlips extractor to remove the lock plate.
