    brakes and a hub!

    I will be doing front brakes and one hub today on my 99 I will try to take pictures and type up something about how to on it and find what years it applies to for the hub and or brakes I haven't looked to deep in the tech section for the brakes yet! But know there isn't anything about the hub!

    It's never as easy as it should be.
    If you want to drive a sports car, Buy a mustang.

    Yep, sounds like a typical Jeep repair, I feel your pain.

    I've had good luck freeing the hub by backing the bolts out 1/8" at a time, covering the bolt head with a socket, then tap on the bolt with a hammer. This forces the hub from the knuckle.
