What do you have for your rear diff? Dana 35c? Dana 44?
The D35c:
http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/d35/d35-1.htm
(the c is for custom, not c-clip)
The D44:
http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/d44/d44-1.htm
I used a 12-ton shop press. Looking back, I should have gotten a 20-ton
press. Then I could have done the "Special Service Tool" trick.
And if you don't like cutting with a drill and dremel, make a "Special
Service Tool" for your press:
http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/mainte...wheel_bearing/
I strongly suggest that you replace the seals along with the bearings
since you have it out already. Also, I would pack the new bearing
with some grease since it may take some time for diff lube to make
it to the bearing.
Someone recommended using RTV rubber around the edge of the oil seal.
Dunno if it would help or hurt or not.
Lastly, are you sure it is the bearing? It's a lot of work just to
find out you still have the noise when you are done!
Good luck!

Re: replace wheel bearing Jeep TJ 2000?
I used an impact wrench. It's a lot easier because otherwise you just
end up spinning the whole shaft with a breaker bar. I suppose on the
rear you could set the e-brake though.
