You might also want to replace the flex hose going to the caliper.
Internal failure of this hose is most likely what caused the brakes to
lock up in the first place.
Of course, since Jeep uses a composite piston in the caliper, you'll
have to replace it also as the heat has probably melted it..
Funny, I, too, had to do this to my '95 Wrangler within 2000 miles of
replacing the front pads and resurfacing the rotors.

Re: Smoking Front Bearing/Hub
Old crow,
Thanks for the tip!
The brake caliper, hose, and pads were suprisingly clean with no
crumbling or discoloration of the brake surfaces, caliper, or rotor.
The hose, on the outside and when represurizing, did not show any
signs of wear or leakage--but then again any internal damage wouldn't
show. The only thing that looked out of place was that the auto shop
who had worked on the brakes last applied some sort of sealer on the
pad-to-caliper assembly. The axle looked good with no broken teeth or
other indications of damage.
Replaced the bearings/hubs with new units, put the caliper assemblies
back on, and ran it 20+ miles. So far so good with no indication of
leaking, pulling to one side, or any "metalic" smells. The almost
total elimination of road noise (other than the stearing pump that has
whined/nashed it gears since the day after it came off the dealers
lot) is a good reminder of how easy it is to "forget" what things
sound like in the begining/what we get used to.

Re: Smoking Front Bearing/Hub/axle/brake
Yes, I've had many brake hoses clog by I guess coming apart inside,
maybe making a pressurized rubber pocket inside the liner, as I've seen
with four inch hazardous waste transfer hose. Usually giving us the
uneasy feeling of having the front end pull one way and then then the
other way.
