you won't need air tools. and it's not an allen socket... it's a square... so you literally put your ratchet head/breaker bar into the plug and turn. that will be the hardest part btw--- a breaker bar or a pipe over the ratchet handle is nice there. never tighten it as much-- they get stuck in there over time.

i'd personally stay with the 90 weight diff lube, amsoil or mobil 1, unless you plan on towing more than a couple of jetskis. 140 is pretty thick and costs an easy 1 mpg.

chrysler does not have the best reputation for power steering pumps. buy a turkey baster and whatever fluid is called for (sometimes it's ATF+4, sometimes it's actual PS fluid, and the chryslers are picky about it!). suck it out. refill. drive around block, repeat two more times.

Buy the mopar coolant.... not the green universal stuff, and do that too.

Hat's off for your work... jeeps are pretty easy to work on and are much fun to own if you aren't scared of a little wind and road noise!!

It looks like your talking about the diffs here.
The Allen wrench is for the transfer case drain and fill bolts
