Front Bearing Replacement
I did a search, tried a few key words....got some results, but nothing outlining what it takes to replace a front wheel bearing in a JK. Had my JK into ORW today for a quick welding repair and they noted my passanger front wheel had some freeplay and the bearing was going bad.....makes some sense as I see some weird tread wear and the rig starts to shake a bit at or around 85mph...not the steering wheel, the whole jeep gets rough.
I found posts with part numbers but the number is for a hub with a bearing. Do I need to replace the whole hub or is it easy enough to press the old bearing out and grease/install a new bearing in a JK? Any pix or write ups my search ability has missed?
Thanks!
