Anybody got any advice or tips on changing rear wheel bearings on a 98 zj limited I believe it has the 35 rear end

It's a pretty easy job. Pull the diff cover off, remove the calipers and rotors, remove the cross shaft retaining screw and pull the cross shaft from the carrier, BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO SPIN THE DRIVESHAFT OR AXLES WHEN THE CROSS SHAFT IS OUT, push the axle in towards the diff and remover the C clip retainer, now just slide the axleshaft out and put the cross shaft back in place to keep the spider gears from moving and falling out. Use a pry bar to remove the axle seal being careful not to bugger up the axle tube, now use a slidehammer to remove the old bearing, clean the garbage out of the axle tube and inspect the axleshaft for any grooves where the bearing rides. If the axleshaft is grooved it MUST BE REPLACED. Use the proper bearing installer and seal driver to install both items, then button everything up and fill the diff with oil.
