I know this is the wrong place I'd imagine,being I'm asking about a Jeep engine but I trust your experience and all.Here's the problem.mom's Cherokee sport has a 4.0L (242 I think) inline 6.Block is cracked.Like in a bad way.Loss of oil into the coolant and coolant into the oil.So we went and got a junkyard engine for it.BUT the junkyard engine is for an automatic and out Jeep is a manual.OK.We got the pilot bearing out of the crank on our engine no problem.NOW the real issue.The enging we pulled from the Jeep has a housing/bearing retainer in the crankshaft that holds the pilot bearing.We have done everything under the sun to try to get that out.Including filling the crank with grease and using a rod the size of the hole to "hydraulicly" push the retainer out.Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
