Anybody know how to repack a wheel bearing?

damn.

I bought mine at Autozone and I think it was around $100. They are easy to change out as long as you hit the bolts on the back side with some PB Blaster or something before hand. It is also a good time to check your axle ujoint since the axle shaft almost always comes out with the wheel bearing unit.

If you need help, let me know.  I recently changed out my front hubs and ball joints.  I used National parts (MOOG) all around.  Good quality stuff, but a little more expensive.

I have a used hub out of a 98 XJ that I'll sell for $20.  The bearing seem to be in good shape.  It was pulled out of a wrecked XJ with 60K miles.  I only wanted the shaft, but I didn't have a 36mm socket so I had to buy the whole thing.  They charged me $20 for the hub, but I don't need it, and I don't think it fits my YJ anyway.  If you can figure out if it fits your ZJ and you want it let me know.  I still need to pull the shaft off, but thats no big deal.  It's for the passenger side.

I just checked the Autozone website and they list the same wheel bearing hub assembly part number for a 97 Grand Cherokee with V8 and 98 Cherokee 4x4 with the 4.0. I have a 36mm hub socket you can borrow also if you need it.
