Re: Jeep TJ, Coolant leaking from front oil pan gasket?
 
HI Folks

Just an update. Also, I would like to thank everyone in this group
for the help and suggestions. From what it appears, it was the water
pump. It must have been leaking out the "weep hole" or the hold that
the fan shaft goes into. I replaced it, the thermostat and fan belt.
I made sure to clean all the old gasket material off. So far it looks
like the antifreeze is holding in the system. I used a pressure
tester and it held 18psi for 2 minutes.

The job was fairly straight forward, but even with an air ratchet it
took some time.

I figured out how to remove the fan assembly from the fan pulley. In
the 2000 TJ 6cyl 4.0L, there are four bolts that hold on the fan
pulley. I placed a box wrench on one of the bolts and held it
steady. At the same time, I placed a large adjustable wrench on the
big single bolt for the fan. This is how I unscrewed the fan
assembly. Then after I remove the four bolts holding the fan/water
pump pulley on, I used a rubber mallet to knock it free. It was
pretty suck on there.

Thanks again,
Nick

Thanks for letting us know how you fixed the problem.

I'm probably going to have to do the same thing on my ZJ
fairly soonish. Still have the original pump. :]
