Re: 95 JGC with oil leak
Cal some adapters have a regular bolt, some, like the one on my 95 grand
have a female head star point bolt. I borrowed it, I don't remember the size off hand. To get a ratchet in there you may have to move the engine over a bit. We did it with the jeep on a lift. Had to use a three foot cheater. You get a kit of 3 O rings from the dealer parts. Fred Cal wrote: > My oil adapter is leaking also. Any hinks about replacement?

Re: 95 JGC with oil leak
I have seen them having a 5/8 (?) bolt head, some have an allen bolt head,
others have a torx head. I had a shop replace mine at the time they were doing the valve cover gasket and changing the rear swaybar. I bought the orings at the stealer. Snow...
