This sucks. I still cant remove my broken temp sender thays at the back of the motor. The crappy brass is just too soft. I tried pb blaster and an easy out and the easy out could basically go in forever. It put a hole on it somehow becausr now coolant leaks through it...

You may just have to suck it up and pull the valve cover... that's what I ended up doing (needed an excuse to replace the VC gasket anyway). Just be careful of antifreeze pouring into the valve train when you do get the temp. probe removed.

The bar is what I really like about it.

If you put a hole in it, that means you should be able to get an ez out further down in it. Did you use a square ez out?

Check these connectors first.



Cruiser’s Trans Plug Refreshing

Over near the transmission dipstick tube are 2 rather large connectors. One is black and the other gray. These 2 connectors carry all the info between TPS, TCU, NSS, speed sensor, and transmission solenoids.
Unplug each one, visually inspect for corrosion or bent pins, spray them out with electrical contact cleaner and plug them back in.
 
Additionally, if your Jeep is an 87 to 90 Renix, it’s always a good idea to reach up under the glovebox area and unplug the connector to the TCU and spray it out along with the receptacle of the TCU. While you’re there, find the fuse right in that area for the TCU. Remove it and spray out it’s receptacle and clean any corrosion from the fuse.

We had a round one. I couldnt find square ones around here. Its just got the reverse threads or whatever so you screw it in to the left. But it just kept going and going and i was worried we were going to ruin the hole thing and cause more problems. It didnt budge though and we backed it out. Im gonna try and go to a machine shop and see what they say or can do to help.

What happens if it breaks apart? Can it fall down into the engine? Im not sure whats on the other side of the hole.

You have a 95 so our xj's are a little different....but your problem seems eerily similar to the tranny's shift solenoids going bad.
