XJ Ask the Question Thread
to remove emergency brake cables from rear axle, do i have to take apart all of the springs etc inside the drum? or where the single cable "splits" and becomes two? removing axle from jeep to work on it, want to take apart as little as i have to.
edit:
nevermind, found this link https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/ removing-e-brake-lines-118301/ so i'll just take apart the drums

My 93 4.0 with AW4 stumbles when cold as soon as I touch the gas, after she's warm everything seems fine and always idles good, even cold. Just a PITA the first few stops on way to work in mornings.
It just started to do this Wednesday, so far I have cleaned the TB,TPS, and just cleaned the IAT. Haven't been able to test it yet cold with the clean IAT, who knows, might be fixed. But any other suggestion to try?

Does anyone have experience with the full remand heads from Oriellys or autozone? I'm debating on buying on vs having to wait for mine at a shop to get done when I do the head gasket.

Okay so I'm still working on these U-joints in my D30 (yeah I work slow. Rain + on pager + other crap to do)
After playing with bending the ears I've gotten to this point: As soon as the caps on these brand new Moog 371s (same as what came out, incidentally) are pushed in far enough so that the C-clips will fit in the channels, they bind up. If I press them out a little tiny bit, so that about half of the one channel is covered, they move like I expect them to. I'm assuming they're manufactured properly. I've been putting grease in as I go as I keep taking these things apart to fit them. I'm having the same problem on both the passenger and driver side shafts, tried both squeezing and spreading the yoke ears (verified with a caliper). Can too much grease cause this? Maybe it's the paint I put on? Didn't seem like much. I'm annoyed enough I'm considering grinding away the necessary metal to get the clips in.
Typical lucky me
