There is no 'trick' to replacing it, it's just hard to get to. Two bolts hold it in place, that's it. You do need some long extensions with your ratchet set and be prepared to act as a contortionist to get your hands up where the CPS is located. Supporting your Cherokee by the body so the drivetrain can droop down to give more clearance may help. Insure you use the correct bolts to hold it in place since they also set the spacing for the CPS.

I didnt know that Autozone sold these now. It has always been one of those dealer parts as far as I knew. I think they are the same price at the dealer, why not just get one there. KH
and be damn carefull not to drop one of the bolts into the hole in the housing, or you will have to remove the tranny to get it out. john
