okay so i have the motor out and and i was re-installing the oil pan when i broke the head off of not one but two bolts. well i got out the easy outs and drilled the center out of them and tried to extract them and the extractor broke off in them , ..both of them have broken off extractors in...

because it is more expensive. isnt that always the reason?

Folks, i would like to know what vehicles i can grab the crankshaft from so i can put it in my wifes 02 liberty (3.7). for instance would this work-----> H307 Crankshaft 53020957AB 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3 7 | eBay

wait a second i said the other 5 are badly rusted, what i meant was the other 7 are badly rusted. there are 8 total that go through the crossmember.

i have an 02 liberty, 3.7 , auto , 4x4. i dropped the crossmember (so i could move the transmission back some in order to separate engine from trans during engine removal) and i broke one of the bolts during removal and the other 5 are badly rusted so i want to replace them. anyone know where to...

okay i got it out. i dropped the crossmember bolts and pulled the trans back and to my not so amazement it came free. only problem. im not using a ****** jack but a floor jack. so now the angle is all off when i go to put the motor back in.

so that is 8 bolts total, i didnt find that many but i did find a couple of blank holes.

hmm, i was planning on leaving the ****** in place so i didnt remove any ****** mount bolts or rear drive shaft. should i? i have just been trying to pull engine forward and it is not working.

so is there a company that makes programmers for 02 libertys?

okay so i got all of the trans bolts out including torq conv, but i cannot get the engine and ****** to seperate, but i havnt REALLY hossed on it yet. should i have to hoss on it? or should it come apart with a good pull?

okay so i am pulling the motor from my wifes 02 liberty a real p.i.t.a., honestly i am pulling it simply so i can drop the oil pan to check rod bearings but so far i have been following the haynes manual and im sure i am going to get it out and realize the book made me to some stuff that wasnt...

i am troubleshooting this -> https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bykv...it?usp=sharing , probably pulling motor monday or tuesday.

so after he found what he did in this video, should/could he just replace the bearing and be fine? Also here is a link to a video, this is my jeep and what the noise is that its making -> https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BykvpQkfXiPkSkhwYWhXT21wNWc/edit?usp=sharing

i believe i spun a rod bearing in my 02 liberty 3.7 liter. manual says to pull engine to remove oil pan. f' that, does anyone have an idea of what all that job encompasses (i.e. new crank? rod? ) and how any idea how much it should cost to have a repair shop do the job?
