Default Wrenching help???? (Portland area)

I was wondering if anyone would help me with a few things on my 98 Cherokee. My heater/ac isn't working properly and I know that my heater core is leaking, so I would like some help trying to replace that. I would also like help on installing coil springs and shackles. I am fairly new to working on cars and would like to learn more. I know this is alot of work. So I wouldn't mind barting labor work around the house. I live in wilsonville but wouldn't mind driving within a reasonable area. Thanks in advance.

Dude, you tube that ****!! They'll show you everything you need to know. Such as tools, and the steps to do the job. The best part is that you can stop, rewind and pause to keep you on the right track. Good luck!!

some one mite help. i'm a bit far to lend a hand or you could count me in. even if there are vids and directions or not . if your new to wrenching its always good to have some one with some experience help you out . till your comfortable at tackling your projects on your own.

do you have any local jeepers you have ran with you may be able to shoot a text or call too. a lot of guys are generally willing to help.

search up what you can about what you wanna do. the springs and shackles are pretty simple. i bet you can get them on your own. as for the heater core. i'd be after some help if i were new at it.

Especially on a '98, that heater core comes out as a single unit, its going to be royal pain in the as$!
