Hi all! I'm a newb '90 Jeep owner and a newb on the forum. I have a couple of ?'s I'm hoping to receive assistance with (1990 XJ, AX15):
1) Need to change front brakes. I assumed the rotors were a separate part from hub however, I was told that the rotor and hub are a single unit, is this true?
2) Tranny fill plug: where is it exactly. I know it's on the driver's side of tranny and I think I've found it? The bolt I think it is requires a 15/16" wrench.
3) Need to bleed the internal) slave cylinder but can't loosen the bleeder screw. I'm trying to loosen right at the nipple, is this correct? There are 2 bolts on push rod closer to tranny but I don't mess with these right?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated! TYIA

Scott was telling me this morning that a friend of his has a stripped-down Renix shell, rust-free, cleaned and primered. Good thing for me that his friend wanted >$1000... like I'm paying that much and having to put a steel hatch on it and find front doors that don't suck
lol just ship it to Brandon and have him do the work for you
