Re: needed a 99 cherokee passenger wheel bearing

They're a pain to remove. Once you remove the axlenut, I'd recommend backing the 3 bolts out 1/8" that hold the hub assembly on. Then place a socket over the bolt head and strike them with a hammer, driving the hub assembly off the knuckle. Do this in 1/8" increments and it should work fine.

You need a 13mm 12pt. socket for the hub bolts, and a 36mm socket for the axlenut.

I'm cheap, and often installed used bearing assemblies when I ran a D30. They work, but not for long. Nice to now have serviceable bearings in the d44.
