Finally time to change one out on my 2002 KJ...

Got a Timpkin unit shipped from Rock Auto today $143.50 shipped...
I assume the installation is similar to a TJ or YJ

remove the wheel, brakes and take out the three hub bolts (anyone know what size bolts? 13mm 12pt?)

Anything else I should worry about?

Thanks

Frank

E-14 or E16 comes to mind. Will look in morning to be sure.

When you cannot hear yourself think because of that annoying noise that's coming from the front of your rig. :mrgreen:

Jack up the front, check wheels for play.

The CV seized on the hub splines. Bring PB Blaster and a BFH.

Thanks for the input! I'll be wrenching on it in the morning... anyone know the socket size for the unit bearing bolts? On a YJ, TJ, XJ it's a 13mm 12 point socket

Got it done today - socket size is an E14

Had trouble getting the rotor off

found this trick online, worked great

The hub was seized on too. Can't really get a hammer behind to whack the bolts. I ended up using an air chisel all the way around the flange.
