3) Install bearings. Check oil clearance and connecting rod
side play clearance. Reverse removal procedure for remaining
components. Tighten bolts to specification.
Fitting Pistons
1) Determine cylinder taper, wear and out-of-roundness and
piston clearance. For cylinder specifications, see CYLINDER, PISTON &
ROD SPECIFICATIONS table. If taper or out-of-roundness are not within
specification, hone or bore cylinders for installation of new pistons.
2) Measure piston at right angle of the piston pin at the
center line of the pin. Compare reading to cylinder bore to determine
clearance. Mark fitted piston for cylinder location.

PISTON PIN
NOTE: Note direction of arrows on piston and oil squirt hole in
connecting rod location prior to removal.
Removal
Position piston on Support (J-21872-1), Pin Pilot (J-21872-2\
)
and Driver (J-21872-3) on an arbor press. See Fig. 6. Note location of
piston pin through gauge window. Press piston pin from piston.
NOTE: Piston and pin must be at standard room temperature when
measuring fit. Piston pin should gravity-fall through the
piston at room temperature. Piston pin cannot be reused
after removal.
Inspection
Measure piston pin diameter, piston bore and connecting rod
bores. Replace components if not within specification. See CYLINDER,
PISTON & ROD SPECIFICATIONS table.
NOTE: Rod must be positioned on the piston so the oil squirt hole
faces the camshaft side of the engine when piston is
installed with arrow toward the front of the engine.
Installation
1) Insert pin pilot through piston and connecting rod. Place
assembly on support. Insert piston pin through the upper piston pin
bore and into connecting rod pin bore. See Fig. 6.

* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
CAUTION: When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Make every attempt
to avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere.
DESCRIPTION
On Cherokee, Comanche and Wagoneer, the Climate Control
System is an integral assembly combining air conditioning, heating and
ventilating capabilities for models with air conditioning. The A/C
registers are built into instrument panel.
On Wrangler models, a dual flow unit with the capability of
recirculating air or drawing air from outside is used. It incorporates
under-dash registers and uses a blend-air type system.
The A/C components include a compressor, condenser, receiver-
drier, a sight glass (in the receiver-to-evaporator line) and
evaporator housing. Evaporator housing contains evaporator core,
expansion valve, thermostat, wiring and drain tube. Blower motor and
fan are located in blower housing, which is attached to evaporator
housing.
Vents provided in evaporator housing are adjustable to direct
air to different positions in vehicle's interior. System controls
include fan and temperature control knobs built into lower evaporator
housing assembly or temperature and mode levers on control panel
integrated with instrument panel.
OPERATION
A/C SYSTEM CONTROLS
Temperature & Fan Control Knobs
(Wrangler)
The right rotary control knob allows selection of desired
temperature. Knob has "OFF" "1", "2" and "3" positions for different
levels of cooling. The left rotary fan switch (knob) controls blower
motor speed. Knob has "OFF", "LOW", "MED" and "HI" positions. Fan will
operate unless mode control lever is in "OFF" position.
The A/C fan switch is a 3-speed unit used in conjunction with
a blower motor resistor. Fan switch controls low, medium and high
speed operation. Switch may be serviced by removing access plate
located on lower evaporator core housing, below control panel.
The A/C temperature control switch has a thermostat unit
built-in. Cooling adjustment is done by turning knob in a clockwise
rotation. For fast, efficient system operation in hot weather, vehicle
should be purged of hot air by driving about 2-3 city blocks with at
least one window open. During this time, temperature control knob
should be rotated clockwise to "MAX" position and fan control knob
placed in "HI" position. This allows evaporator to pre-cool and avoid
typical first blast of warm air.
Temperature Control Panel
(Cherokee, Comanche & Wagoneer)
The upper temperature control (mode) lever includes "MAX",
"NORM", "BI-LEVEL", "VENT", "HEAT" and "OFF" positions. At the far end

REAR WINDOW
Jeep: All Models
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
System consists of 2 vertical bus bars and horizontal rows of
heating elements fused to inside of glass, a control switch, an
indicator light, and timer relay.
The grid feed wire is connected to bus bar on driver's side
of window. Ground bus bar is on right side of vehicle. Timer/relay
receives current from fuse block. A circuit breaker protects defogger
circuit.
NOTE: On some Jeep models, defogger switch and electric tailgate
switch are serviced as an assembly.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: Control switch testing is not available for Wrangler models.
1) On Cherokee, Comanche and Wagoneer models, turn ignition
switch to "ON" position. Check for current at "I" and "B" terminals.
See Fig. 1 . If there is no current, check circuit and repair as
necessary. Make sure that switch has a good ground through wire
connected to "G" terminal.
2) With a good ground circuit and ignition switch in "ON"
position, current should be present at "L" terminal. If there is no
current, replace control switch.

3) On Grand Wagoneer models, turn ignition switch to "ON"
position and press defogger switch. Separate wiring harness at
connector under dash. Connect a 12-volt test light from Purple wire to

1) On Grand Wagoneer models, attach negative lead of
voltmeter to ground. Probe Red wire at relay with voltmeter positive
lead. Battery voltage should be indicated. If no voltage is indicated,
operate tailgate window.
2) If window operates, wire between relay and window switch
is open. Probe Orange wire at relay with voltmeter positive lead. No
voltage should be indicated. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position.
Voltmeter should indicate voltage. If not, relay is defective or not
receiving voltage from Purple wire.
3) If relay operates properly, it should remain energized for
8 to 12 minutes before opening. If time period is too short or too
long, relay is defective. If relay did not energize, connect a jumper
wire to a 12-volt source in tailgate and probe Purple relay terminal.
4) If relay "clicks", trace Purple wire for open or short. If
relay does not click, check relay ground. If ground is okay, relay
should be replaced.

out far enough to remove first ball bearing. Remove remaining ball
bearings in same manner.
4) Rotate outer CV joint cage outward until it is at a 90
degree angle to installed position. Align 2 oblong holes in outer
joint cage with slots in interior wall of spindle housing and remove
cage and inner race.
5) Remove inner race from cage by aligning shoulder between
race grooves with inside of oblong cage holes. Rotate inner race out
of cage using larger of 2 openings in cage. Remove retaining ring,
spacer ring and outer boot.

CLEANING & INSPECTION
1) Wash all parts in solvent and dry. Inspect inner and outer
ball races for damage. Inspect splined stub shaft for wear, cracks and
twisted splines.
2) Inspect all 6 balls for pitting, cracking or scoring.
Dulling of surface is normal. If any damage is found, replace entire
CV joint assembly. Polished areas in races and on cage spheres are
normal and DO NOT require joint replacement.
REASSEMBLY
1) Apply a light coat of CV grease on ball grooves of inner
and outer races. Install inner race into cage using a rotating action
opposite of removal. Inner race snap ring should face axle side.
2) Be sure ball bearing retaining ring is installed on inner
race side facing small end of cage. Align windows of cage with outer
race lands, and pivot cage with inner race into tilted position
(opposite of removal).
3) Install ball bearings one at a time into outer CV joint as
cage is tilted and rotated. After balls are installed into cage, pivot
cage and inner race into installed position.
4) Slide new seal clamp for small end of boot seal, boot seal
and seal retainer onto axle shaft. Coat inside lip (large diameter end
of seal) with CV grease. Slide seal retainer on end of seal.
5) Spread ears of bearing race snap ring, and slide CV joint
onto axle shaft until snap ring seats in groove. Pack joint with
approximately 1/2 of grease provided in seal kit. Apply remaining
grease inside seal.
6) Slide seal toward joint until small end of seal is in
groove in axle shaft. Position small clamp over small end of seal and
into groove and tighten.
