nuts. Install motor and WOT switch bracket assembly on throttle body.
2) Connect wiring harness connector to ISA motor and WOT
switch. Connect the throttle return spring, throttle cable and cruise
control cable. Adjust ISA motor and WOT switch. Install air cleaner
assembly.
NOTE: After replacing or reinstalling the original ISA motor, be
sure motor plunger is fully extended before starting the
engine. If plunger is not fully extended, the closed
throttle switch may open prematurely, causing idle speed to
drop to approximately 400 RPM.
3) Start engine with throttle at 1/4 open position. This
prevents ISA plunger from retracting. Stop engine. When ignition is
turned off, the motor plunger will fully extend. After installation
is complete, adjust ISA as required.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT
Removal & Installation
Locate ECU in passenger compartment, below glove box. Remove
retaining screws and mounting bracket. Remove the ECU, and disconnect
wiring harness connector from ECU. Reverse removal procedure to
install.
OXYGEN SENSOR
Removal
Disconnect the wire connector from sensor, and unscrew
sensor from exhaust pipe adapter. Clean adapter threads.
Installation
1) Apply anti-seize compound to sensor threads. Do not allow
compound to adhere to any other part of sensor. Hand start the sensor
into place and tighten. Check that wire terminal ends are properly
seated in connector. Connect wire.
2) Do not push the rubber boot over sensor body lower than
1/2" (13 mm) above base of sensor. If the sensor wire should break,
sensor must be replaced. These wires cannot be spliced or otherwise
repaired.
MANIFOLD AIR TEMPERATURE & MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSORS
Removal & Installation
Disconnect wiring harness connector from sensor. Disconnect
vacuum hose from MAP sensor. Remove sensor. Clean MAT sensor manifold
threads, and wrap with Teflon tape. To install, reverse removal
procedure.

CALIPERS
You are not required to replace or rebuild calipers in axle
sets. However, when replacing or rebuilding a caliper due to the
conditions that follow, you may suggest servicing, rebuilding, or
replacement of the other caliper (on the same axle) for improved
performance and preventive maintenance (for example, the part is close
to the end of its useful life, replacing the caliper may extend pad
life, or contribute to more balanced braking).
CAUTION: When installing loaded calipers, it is required that
friction material be matched in axle sets for consistent
braking characteristics.

OVERHAUL
DISC BRAKE CALIPER
Disassembly
1) Clean caliper exterior with brake cleaning solvent. Drain
residual fluid from caliper and place caliper on a clean working
surface.
2) Remove piston from caliper by applying compressed air to
inlet port. Use just enough pressure to ease piston out of bore.
Protect piston from damage with folded shop towels. Do not try to
catch piston by hand.
3) Pry dust boot out of bore with screwdriver. Do not scratch
bore. Using a small plastic or wooden stick, pry piston seal from
bore. See Fig. 11. Remove bleeder screw, sleeves, and bushings.
Cleaning & Inspection
Clean all parts with brake cleaning solvent. Blow dry parts.
Check for damaged or worn parts. Stains on piston bore can be polished
with crocus cloth. Do not use emery cloth or any other abrasive.
Reassembly
1) Lubricate bore and new seal with brake fluid. Install seal
in groove using fingers. Lubricate piston with brake fluid. Slide
metal retainer portion of dust boot over open end of piston. Pull boot
rearward until boot lip seats in piston groove.
2) Push retainer portion of dust boot forward until boot is
flush with rim at open end of piston and boot fold snaps into place.
Insert piston in bore being careful not to unseat piston seal.
3) Push piston to bottom of bore using hammer handle.
Position dust boot retainer in counterbore at top of piston bore. Seat
dust boot retainer with Dust Boot Installer (J-22904 or J-33028).
Reverse removal procedure to complete installation.

MASTER CYLINDER - GRAND WAGONEER
NOTE: Do not hone master cylinder bore. Bore has a highly polished
"bearingized" surface. Honing will cause premature failure
of rubber parts.
Disassembly
1) Clean outside of cylinder thoroughly and remove cover.
Drain fluid. Pump piston to remove any remaining fluid. On
Delco/Moraine models with composite fluid reservoir, install metal
flange in vise and pry reservoir off with a pry bar. Bendix composite
reservoir is held on by 4 bolts on bottom of reservoir. On manual
brake models, remove boot from cylinder to uncover push rod retainer.
2) Pry up retainer tab to release retainer. Remove snap ring
from groove in cylinder bore. Remove both piston assemblies. Remove
remaining internal parts from bore. Note direction of piston seals.
Remove and discard all rubber parts from piston assemblies.
3) Tube seats can be removed if damaged. Enlarge holes in
tube seats using a 13/64" drill. Place a large flat washer over outlet
and thread a 1/4" x 20 x 3/4" screw into seat. Tighten screw until
seat is loose. See Fig. 14. Remove seat, screw and washer.

Inspection
Inspect cylinder bore for scoring or corrosion. Staining
Page 335 of 1378
which has not pitted or roughened surface of cylinder can be removed
with crocus cloth. If cylinder bore is scored, pitted or corroded,
replace master cylinder.
Reassembly
1) Install replacement tube seats by threading a spare brake
line tube nut into hole. Turn nut in until tube seat bottoms. Do not
cock tube seat in hole. Remove nut and check for burrs which may have
been loosened by nut. Install secondary seals on secondary piston,
with cup lips facing away from each other.
2) Install primary seal, spring retainer and return spring on
secondary piston. Install seal so lip faces interior of master
cylinder when installed. Lubricate cylinder bore with clean brake
fluid and install secondary piston assembly. Lubricate primary piston
seals and install primary piston assembly in bore. Hold primary piston
downward in bore and install snap ring.
3) Install composite reservoir (if equipped). On models with\
push-on composite fluid reservoir, invert reservoir, install grommets
and press on body using a rocking motion. Install master cylinder
cover and new diaphragm.
4) On vehicles with manual brakes, assemble brake pedal push
rod through retainer (if equipped). Push retainer over end of master
cylinder and install rubber boot.

Disassembly
Remove dust boots. Push pistons, piston cups and expander
spring out of bore. Discard cups. Clean all parts with brake solvent.
Inspect cylinder bore and piston for pitting, wear or damage. Replace
as necessary. Light scoring or pitting may be removed by honing.
Reassembly
1) Lubricate cylinder bore and internal components with brake
fluid. Do not lubricate dust boots. Position replacement piston cups
on spring expanders. Install assembled parts in cylinder bore.
2) Ensure expanders are seated in piston cups. Cups are to be
installed with lips facing each other. Install pistons with flat sides
facing interior of bore. Install dust boots.

DESCRIPTION
The clutch assembly consists of a single dry-disc driven
plate and a one-piece diaphragm spring-type clutch cover. On Wrangler
4-cylinder models, the clutch cover and driven plate diameter is 9.28"
(232 mm). On Wrangler 6-cylinder models, the clutch cover and driven
plate diameter is 10.5" (266 mm). On all other 4 and 6-cylinder
models, the clutch cover and driven plate diameter is 9.7"
(246 mm). The clutch is actuated through a hydraulic master cylinder
and slave cylinder.
