1. soak everything in pb blaster

2.take the caliper off

3. then the rotor

4 then take the 3 bolts on the back of you unit bearings

5.gently tap the back of you unit bearing housing with a bfh[ it should pop out]

6 with you bfh tap downwards on the spindle, untill it pops of

7. if this happens


8. take a 3/4 breaker bar i think it was big. but any ways you take the socket connecting point put it on top and pound, you might have to grind some ball joint away

9. take the new one and get a big socket that will let the threads go threw. then pound it with a bfh sledge hammer. i know the proper way is a press when you don't have you improvise.

10. put it all back together



so total breakage at rc was a ujoint in the drive shaft and axle, lower driver side ball joint

 

Here's a trick I use to remove stubborn hubs. After you remove everything that needs to be removed, and the extension is in place, you can simply turn the steering wheel and the hub will pop right out.







Where's your safety glasses? I always wear mine and still get crap in my eyes. Be careful you've only got one pair, then it's darkness!

 

Three things...

A. Wear your damn safety glasses...

B. Your rotor is shot... Look at that groove.

C. I've seen some REALLY rusty hubs that the extension/steering pump trick doesn't work... And you dont want to be ANYWHERE near there if it doesn't. That extension becomes a missile...

 

thanks for the tip i think that i am going to have to us that sometime

 

ya i know but my friend disconnected my tie rod already. he has his own ways. my other friend swears by it. i would do ur theory on the trail tho.

 

as long as it stops,starts and goes almost everywhere i want doesn't mater. if it aint broke don't fix it

 

Wicked next time you use the grinder PLEASE wear a pair of safety glasses.

 

Obviously!

 

ive done that trick with a big socket on my dana44 spindles

 

thats my friend not me

 

Then tell your buddy that everyone on Cherokee Forum says put on safety glasses...

 

Your trick is EN GENIUS! There I was banging away trying to get my hub off when I remembered seeing this. I gave it a shot, and I didn't even need power steering. Just a slight turn of the wheel and I heard this clunk sound, couldn't believe it, came RIGHT out!

THANKS!
