Re: Wheel bearings
Rotors or the hub?
I guess I read or took that wrong.
As others have mentioned, a screwdriver works quite well for the big
nut, especially if one has been used before. They are not on tight.

Re: Wheel bearings
On the tightness issue, I have been having trouble with extremely short life
of the wheel bearings on the front. I thought the torque spec was something
like 80 pounds on the inner spindle nut, which (as I sit here and give
advise) hits me as a bit aggressive, and perhaps part of why I keep
replacing the wheel bearings. Do you know the exact spec for each of the
spindle nuts on the CJ?

Re: Wheel bearings
You back off the inner nut one quarter of a turn.

Re: Wheel bearings
You tighten the inner nut while rotating the wheel until the bearings
bind or around 50 ft lb. You then back it off 1/16 turn, add the washer
and the outside lock nut and torque that to 50 ft lb then bend the
washer tabs over.
