It is a 12point socket MAKE SURE YOU DONT USE ANYTHING ELSE, or you will round it off. They hubs are an assembly with the bearings all in one so it makes it kind of easy to installed and they come prepacked with grease. They about 100 bucks each at the local parts store. If its not that then the only other bearings it the front axle is your bearings on the carrier in the differential. So check the hubs and if it not one then it the other. My bet is on the hubs, I had the same problem and thats what it ended up being.

Thanks, that is what I thought I would be in for.. 100 bucks? I wish... $209 each for the ZJ.. ouch. If one is bad, I might as well replace both since I'm pushing 172k... I'll spray them down tomorrow just to make sure the bolts will come loose on Sunday
