zjorvis97:
I need some help with a wheel bearing if anyone could help. I'm a little low on funds so any help would be greatly appriciated.

rocket:
pull the wheel off, pull out the bearing, clean it throughaly, fill w/ grease, re-assemble!

I thought the ZJs were wheel bearing units like TJs and XJs and you replace the entire assembly. They aren't meant to be repacked. I've heard that it can be done, but you have a press to be able to put them back together.

Napa used to sell just the bearing without the hub, and you could press the bearing into the hub, but those never last.  your going to have to spend the 150 and buy the entire hub.
