Hey guys, I'm trying to replace my leaking oil lines on my 1994 S15 Jimmy 4x4. From what it looks like, am I gonna have to remove the mount and jack up the engine? I did a search, but all of the results seem to be for the 95+ 2nd gen trucks. I'm guessing it's the same but I'm having a hell of a time trying to get these lines out and I could use a pointer or two. I took a picture if it helps.

And is there a gasket that I should replace while I'm in there? I'm talking about where the oil line mount bolts to the engine; my new lines came with gaskets to where they bolt onto the mount.



Thanks so much!

 

I was able to reach in from the front with a long extension to my ratchet handle.

That's what I did (frrom the front). There's one bolt to thr asapter fpr both lines. You might as well replace the gasket and "O" ring on the adapter too. This ain't a real easy job. If you got an after,arket line(s) there is only one seal for both lines. Dealer item will have two.

 

i just did this same fix and was at it for hours. I came from the front with a couple of extensions and u joints. Took a bit to get it lined up and screwed back on but it worked.

 

Thanks guys, that's what I ended up doing. I'm very happy that I didn't have to disconnect the engine mounts and jack that whole anchor (lol) up. It was tricky but I'd take that over messing with the engine mounts. So far so good; no leaks as far as I can tell *knock on wood.*

 

Im glad u posted this,because i need to change mine,and wasnt sure if i needed to lift engine..Thanks for the info..
