What do you do when you can’t budge the 3 hub bolts? I don’t think that a little ratcheting wrench would do anything to move the typical frozen bolts. Did they really come off that easily? I tried a torque wrench at 110 foot pounds and could not move them. I was afraid to go higher fearing I would shear them.

You are correct my friend.

stinkbugist says:

i hope to make a vid of it.

stinkbugist says:

i’m about to replace front cv axel and bearing on a 1991 cherokee limited. bearing is $9.60, axel is $55.00 plus tax. i think it will be different than this video shows on bearing. great vid though. anticipation was killing me though when you went off on the tool tangent.

Cameron Penner says:

Cj blanchard says:

Is this a video on working on a jeep or you trying to sell me an impact wrench??

Wayne Strickland says:

Hey Gil, did that fix your wobble?

ridecosnow says:

I got all the way to taking off the old bearing assembly< then it froze on me, i couldn't move it off. I tried the tourch amd WD40 hammers brute strength ect... its stuck on there! any ideas how to get the old one off?

mugsjeep says:

I put the HUb on an now my rotors are now stuck in the arm that hold the hub.

sean1depue says:

would replacing the rear wheel assemblies call for the same steps you took in this video on a 2008 patriot?

gil marquis says:

Snap on impacts suck.

Tony Allen says:

Thanks for the video, nice to see the job done so not to find that there is a secrete part or tool. I think you produced one of the best tutorial videos that Ive seen on here.

smokefire01 says:

would a liberty sport have the same setup

TheDelamotteCrunch says:

Good video, thanks for the info. Just wandering what year your Jeep is and the size of wrench you used on the hub bolts.

brian kidd says:

The amazon part number is precision 513084. Thanks

Harpoon2theRescue says:

You gotta part number for that hub and bearing assembly from Amazon?

The Jeep Doctor says:

BTW thecherokeekidd1 is thejeepdoctor….didnt realize i was signed into my old account when i posted the specs.

brian kidd says:

not sure why that happened, my apologies. i will reedit the video and post it up. the only thing at the end was torquing the axle nut to 175ft-pounds and putting on the wheel. thanks for the heads up

brian kidd says:

and the axle nut is 175 ft-pounds

brian kidd says:

sorry bout the delay. the torque spec is 75 Ft-pounds. have any other questions feel free to ask. thanks for your views!

Aaron Schaub says:

That helped me out a ton. Sounds like one of my front bearings went out over the weekend & will need replaced. I’ll just need a couple of tools and should be able to do this. Were you able to find the torque spec?
