wheel bearings
Well start by finding a 13 mil 12 point socket for the hub bolts you need 12 point napa auto has the socket. also a big breaker bar, antiseeze, new carter pins. take a 3/8 drive extention and have a buddy hold it in behind the hub get in the jeep start it and turn the wheel the extention will pinch between the diff side and hub and pop it off with one turn this saves you from using a chizzle and hammer... hope the wheel bearing hub is not seezed on the axle slpines or you will have about a hour with a hammer and torch pounding like i did and i ended up having to get the axle nut threads re-threaded. Hope i help a little

btw i dont know what year jeep you have but mines a 94 and i upgraded to the solid pass side axle found in the 99 xjs which is way better than stock and it also changes your wheel u-joints they are alot stonger/bigger, i just did my wheel bearings last week when i did them i did the upper ball joints u-joints in axle shaft yokes and brakes so i didnt have to tear it all back appart anytime soon about 175 dollers for it all...ebay wheel bearing hub/assembly. 82.00 shipped duralast gold u joints 15.00. ball joints 30.00 a side

don't forget to put the dust shield back on when your all down.... not that i know from experience or anything... and torque the axle nut to 175.
