Re: replace wheel bearing Jeep TJ 2000?
 

Thanks. Did you need an impact wrench to get the nut free or just use
a breaker? I have a 1/2" impact wrench and not sure if I should get
eh 36mm socket for it.

You should be a lot more concerned with getting the hub free of the
steering knuckle than getting the nut off. You can actually pull the hub
and axle as a unit, take the axle off the hub later but it's easier to
do it in the logical order (more things to brace against!)
