Jeep Cherokee - Rear Main Seal Replacement Procedure + Oil Pan Gasket ['87-'06 Jeep 4.0L]

Firstly, this is a very difficult and advanced task. If your only mechanical experience includes the front brakes and some sway bar links, I wouldn't recommend trying this on your own. It requires alot of precise movement in alot of tight places, where the consequences of failure are an engine rebuild. You need to lay under the engine with oil dripping all over your face. It is not comfortable, it is not fun, it is not easy and it is not over quickly.
This tutorial closely follows the Hayne's manual for the replacement procedure of the Rear Main Seal for the 1987-2001 Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Comanche. By extension, the 4.0 is hardly any different across other Jeep vehicles, so most of the information here also applies to 1987-2006 Jeep Wranglers (YJ + TJ), and 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees (ZJ + WJ).
Any time you remove the oil pan, you'll need to replace the gasket.
