Re: Changing hubs on a CJ...
 

Hi Mark,
I would go in for another set of axle seals, they're probably the
same as the regular seals. then repack and set the bearing up correctly.
In the conversation kit:

permeate, looks like all you have to do is pull the spindles and slip an
axle in with the stock semi floater, race and retainer. Maybe find some
stock length bolts for the backing plate.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O
