Does anyone know what size and type wrench I need to remove the oil filter
adapter from my '93 ZJ with a 4.0. When I say oil filter adapter I am
referring to the aluminum part that attaches to the block and performs a 90
degree turn and the filter attaches to it. I have read a few articles that
refer to it as that and suggest that it takes a T-60 to remove it, but when
I tried, it didn't fit.

I'm getting an oil leak from where the adapter meets the block. Also could
you tell me what size of o-ring it needs. Again, I am assuming that it
needs an o-ring. In fact any information that you could tell me about this
would help. There is not a lot out there about leaking from this spot.

'93 ZJ 4.0
'90 YJ 4.2

 

I have heard T-60, T-55, Allen head, and plain hex head bolts being used.
You will probably have to find a way to get a mirror down there or work by
feel.

You can get the gasket at NAPA for around a dollar.
