Default Need Help with Rear Main Seal

Hi everybody. I have a 1994 Cherokee and I believe the RMS is leaking, I already had the oil Pan done, The valve cover gasket done, the oil filter seals done so the only thing it could be is the RMS right? I'm disabled and cant do the job on my own so if anyone close to me (Bayville/08721) wants to make some extra money just PM or Email me.
Trekkerjmm@comcast.net my name is Joe

Joe, your just outside Seaside.. but you probably knew that.

Unfortunately i cant spend any time on my bad back at the moment.. you wouldnt happen to have access to a lift? Maybe we can get a few local guys together to assist.

Hey Joe. If I were closer I'd be there in a flash buddy. Sorry I'm useless to you on this occasion.

Hi PolarXJ, I appreciate the link (I love that website...lol) I know how to do it but don't have the capabilities, ( kinda missing a leg and "almost" a pair of lungs from Diabetes..lol) so its a little tough to spend lots of time under the jeep. Thx again to all you guys...TJ
