cmcveay Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 In addition to helping Brian change out his crank pulley on Sunday (if the parts arrive in time), I'm going to be doing an oil change on Merlin. So, I thought I'd extend the offer out to anyone else that's in need of a change of lubricant as well. If you are interested, I've got the oil filter housing socket and a hex key that fits the pan drain plug. Send me a PM or email and we can set up a time. Location is in Fairfax, not far from George Mason University. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

elpollodiablo Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 I'm good on oil but I've got some misc tinkering that I've been needing to do. I wouldn't mind having a driveway to do it in as my condo gets cranky with me tearing my car apart in the parking garage. Could also bring along the belt tensioner tool for Brian.

cmcveay Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 It's a good sized two car garage so there's room. I'll probably knock my oil change out Saturday so it's not in the way. There's also a grill right outside the back door of the garage just in case any "grillables" show up. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

cmcveay Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Posted March 10, 2012 Belt tension tool is here. We'll roll the doors up at about 9 a.m. and I plan on closing them around 1 p.m. as I've got homework and a few other things to get done in the afternoon. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
Edge Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Wish I could be there, even just to hang out with folks... but I had a big appointment with my MINI already today... it will be spending much of the day up on a lift! If the appointment finishes early enough where people are still at the Garage Day, I'll swing by.

cmcveay Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Posted March 12, 2012 We heard you were having enough fun of your own! I hope your install went well. We can say that we won't ever be worried about replacing a crank puiley on a 1st gen in the future. It wasn't all that tough! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
