Re: 90 Wrangler YJ needs Rear Main Seal
 

I just did the one in my '87. It was the rear main. I replaced the valve
cover gasket too, but the rear main was the culprit in my leak.
It was hard and brittle, and I had to loosen all the main caps to get the
upper part to budge.
I've done lots of rear mains, this one was easy. Get the good Felpro
gaskets, and save yourself some trouble. Be sure to use plenty of lube or
lithium grease on the new seal as you install it, and, the lip goes toward
the front of the engine.
