Can anyone tell me if a cherokee 1995 4.0 has gat tapered bearings? I have only just bought one and therefore know nothing and am waiting to get my hands on a haynes manual . Many thanks.

 

to start what bearings in the engine?

 

If your talking front wheel bearings I'm currently searching for the same answer. According to the Haynes manual they tell you it requires special tools and take it to a pro.

 

front wheel bearings are simple and only need a 12 point 1/2 inch socket and a 36 mm. and a bfh. the wheel bearing hub is sortof tapered.

 

Thanks for the reply, I was wondering what was up as I've never run into front wheel bearings being all that difficult but I've never done em on an XJ.

 

yea its not to bad i removed my rf twice to do balljoints and ujoints.
just take your time and use plenty of patience as the bearing can take some time to get off. pb blaster- wd everything. makes it easier

 

hey i have a question if you dont mind me asking on here instead of starting a new thread. my front passenger side bearing was bad and i went out and bought a brand new timkin hub assembly, took it home and took it out of the box to see it in its glory. i spun it in my hands and to my dissapointment i could feel a clicking as i turned it. is this a deffective one or just something ive never noticed before that happens in all of them? thanks if anyone knows

 

in all the hub bearings ive installed they were smooth to turn never felt a clunking in them new
