My starter on 1994 Jeep was turning the engine over slower and slower over the past month.
I did not want to be stranded as my wife is out of town frequently. So I bought a new starter and changed it out recently.
I do not have a lift so I jacked it up a little to make getting under the Jeep a little easier.
The removal and replacement process is fairly simple but requires moving under the vehicle and getting up several times.
After completion of replacement and battery reconnection, I then checked on my oil leak situation.
Oil leak was from oil filter adapter connection to engine and the O rings have been replaced and that leak fixed.
It was leaking so much I kept a steady diet of new oil going in about a quart every 600 miles. That is no longer an issue.
The repeated up and down and working on my back resulted in my ears/equilibrium being out of normal state for an hour or so.
This is not the first time this has happened while working on my back and reaching up to do a task.
I was fine after an hour or so but this getting older stuff makes me wish I had bought a nice lift for the garage many years ago
Now at 62 I do not think the purchase of a lift would be good as we are considering moving in next few years.
This getting old is not for wimps.
