Re: Wheel Bearings
Easy, you just go buy a whole new hub and bolt it on. Well, the three
bolts and hub can be a bugger to get off depending on rust levels.
That is all you can do for it, there are no serviceable parts in the hub
unless you own a machine shop.

Re: Wheel Bearings
The front wheel bearings are "unit bearings" and are not repackable or
serviceable for all practical purposes. But they're well sealed so they
generally outlast conventional bearings.

Re: Wheel Bearings
Hi Joe,
Rather than repacking the bearings once a year or every twelve
thousand miles like a Real Jeep Floating bearings, Daimler chose to
continue selling you puny front wheel drive passenger car hubs that are
sealed and just run dry, seize, and leave you in the middle of an
intersection, or the wheel just falls off at seventy miles and hour. You
may check to see if it is about to explode by jacking the wheel up from
time to time, and kicking the wheel to release the brake caliber and
feel for any play, if there is, replace them:
