Hey fireman, I think you're the only one who can actually lift John's engine here. We need to perform an engine transplant on the jeep.
Tell the engine spirit to bring us out of here.
Use doot doot sonar to look at Hyenakle's broken bones, and try to set them with telekinesis (OP glass sphere FTW!). Take it slowly, don't do anything if doing things would mean splatting his skull through his brains.

You sonar him but you can't see his bones. Huh...almost like you have sonar and not ultrasound.
The engine spirit asks you which direction to go, advising you that perhaps going deeper into the forest of giant hunting animal people may be a bad idea.
ANGRIER DREAMS.
[CENSORED BY MOTHERS FOR SENSIBLE MENTAL IMAGES]And Xan...well he has 3 fingers and a thumb. He should also probably burninate that boneless arm because it is gonna get infected as is.
Thanks for the suggestion!
"Actually, I just had an idea about that arm issue."
Time to do something perfectly sensible. This being go get the giant crab claw.
Then magically burninate off what's left of my boneless arm, chew a leaf of my magical healing plant, and use the pent-up sacrificial magic power from the burnination to fuse the crab claw to my newly bared shoulder.
That's how magic fire works. I'm a mofukin fire wizard so that's how I know. Any plebeians watching surely would have faith that I can do this.

((This seems like a good idea.))
The left arm claw is luckily not the giant one, since the giant one would weigh upwards of 100lbs and be extremely awkward for you to use. The left one is a bit longer than your arm should be, but at least it is a reasonable size and weight.

You hold the arm to the remnants of your own left arm and sacrifice the ruined flesh to fuse the new to you.
Right, let's install that engine into the jeep! Birdhands to the rescue!
((Yeah, Dave's pretty useless unless you need someone adorable. I have a couple ideas for him, but he lacks IC knowledge...))
Keep trying to help.
"Sorry; this mouth's only good for so much grabbing. Give me a rope and I could help hoist that... engine?"
I'm gonna assume you ask the engine spirit to lift the john-engine and you two instead work on removing the engine from the jeep and installing the new one.

You manage to get the old engine out and the new one in, but it's a sloppy job. You get everything hooked up right but none of the mountings on john fit the mountings in the jeep, so he's kind of just sitting in there, chugging away, alive but unmoored.
