Wow, had to help a friend with a TJ - Front wheel Fell Off!!
Wow, I mean holy ----, I think I have seen everything.
A friend has a TJ and he blew a front axle u-joint so had a 'mechanic'
friend with a shop help him change it.
They couldn't get the right u-joint or it didn't seem like it because
the jerk bent the ears on the yoke trying to hammer the old one out
before he ended up using a cutting torch to cut the old u-joint out.
So buddy says ok, I will get a new or the right u-joint tomorrow and
come back after work. The mechanic says fine and puts the front hub
back on and send him off on the 30 mile highway drive home.
He gets home and on the first tight turn he takes to park, the front
wheel falls off!!!!
The 'mechanic' didn't install the short stub of the axle back into the
hub. That is all that holds the inside bearing race in place! The race
fell out on the first tight turn.
I couldn't freaking believe it!

Re: Wow, had to help a friend with a TJ - Front wheel Fell Off!!
I thought it was pressed on tighter than that, I remember Matt
Macchiarolo pulling his apart with an axle puller and using in the axle
nut to sock it back on. Of course having the axle in or out makes no
difference to the floating bearing, Real Jeep hub.
