take a 12 point socket for the size of the three hub bolts (13 mm i think?)
take a 3 inch extension on it
put the tool on the forward most bolt (to the front of the vehicle)
put the extension end on the axle tube
start jeep
turn steering wheel
let the power steering do the work.

ill try to find a link

This works very well, I used a 17mm impact rated deep well socket. I'm sure just about anything (steel) would work.
