I have changed out the wheel bearings on many a 2wd vehicle b4, just never tackled anything 4wd. I was wondering what are the proper steps in changing out the front wheel hub assemblies....
Thanks & God bless!

Was there something in my solution that didn't help? I took the step by step instructions from Chilton's Auto repair manual. If the solution I provided was wrong, please post back to tell me where. Thank you very much.

My apologies, I must have posted the wrong information. Here is a link to pictures with the instructions below. I hope you find the information timely and useful.

Raise and support the vehicle safely.
Remove the wheels.
Remove, but do not disconnect, the caliper. Suspend it out of the way. See Section 9 for additional service information.
Remove the rotor.
Remove the cotter pin, nut retainer, axle nut and washer
Remove the 3 hub-to-steering knuckle attaching bolts.
Remove the hub/bearing carrier and the rotor shield.
Using an arbor press, press the
hub out of the bearing carrier. Special tools 5073 and 5074 are
available for this job. Secure the carrier to the press plate with M12
x 1.75mm x 40mm bolts.
Cut and remove the
plastic cage from the hub inner bearing. Using diagonal pliers or tin
snips, cut the bearing cage. Discard the rollers after removing the
cage.
Remove what remains of the inner bearing as follows:
Install a bearing separator tool on the inner bearing.
Position the separator tool and hub in an arbor press.
Force the hub out of the inner bearing with press pin tool 5074.
Remove the bearing carrier outer seal and discard it.
Drive the inner bearing seal out and discard it. If you're using tool 5078, make sure that the word JEEP faces downward.
Attach press plate tool 5073 to the rear of the carrier. Secure it in the press using M12 x 1.75mm x 40mm bolts.
Position bearing race remover 5076 in the carrier bore between the inner and outer bearing races.
Position the press pin tool 5074 on tool 5076.
Place
the bearing carrier in the press and force the inner bearing race from
the carrier bore. Reverse the position of the carrier and tools and
force the outer bearing race from the bore.

well for one, I mentioned this was for a 4wd, not a rwd.... but the instructions given are only for a rear wheel drive, I know this as I have changed many bearing set ups for 2 wheel drive... I am needing instructions for 4 wheel drive which would include instructions for re-moving the hubs from the cv joints as well ....so it was completely the wrong info... thanks for trying but again... not what I was asking about... no matter where the info came from.. it was the incorrect info in regaurds to which I was asking. Thanks for your efforts tho!
God bless
