This is our master mechanic Steve Campbell working his magic.



This is Pete Campbell, Steve's son. He wanted me to turn my head and cough for some reason??



Pete is grinding the crud off my front brake dust shield getting it ready for paint.















The drivers side all dismanteled with the new bearing just sitting on the spindal.





The passenger side is now disassembled. This was the side with the bad bearing.

 

BSA National Premium Series Wheel Hub Assembly. Part # 513158. 3 Year Replacement Warranty.

 

We also retorqued the entire Rubicon Express lift kit. We found that both sway bar end link top brackets had come loose, so we locktighted and torqued the hell out of them. They won't be coming loose again!...With the new front bearings, the truck rolls smooth as hell. The whole front end is now nice and tight like a new Jeep. We didn't have a single problem and only had to heat up one bolt on the drivers side bearing. Otherwise everything came apart smooth.

My question is: How did you get the youtube embedding to work? I've been trying in the Off Topic forum and can't get it to work no matter what I do.

 

Step 1: Go into the advanced editor.



Step 2: Click on the youtube icon near the top of the editor.



Step 3: In another browser tab/window, go to youtube and find the video you want to embed.



Step 4: Copy the url for the video from the browser address bar. "NOT" the youtube embed code.



Step 5: Paste the url between the youtube brackets.



Step 6: Post the video.

Feel free to practice posting a video here if you like.

 

Good luck with the install. And remember, if you hit anything with a hammer, you are doing it wrong.

 

Outstanding. Thanks for the tutorial!

 

I have to do this job soon, thanks for the write up, it'll be a lot easier knowing what has to be done as I go... Do you remember what size the spindle nut was?
