[Tigers] Replacing rear axle bearings

[Terry Lawell]

I have read many of the documented encounters and will be prepared for 
the worst. However, it would be nice to get a good step by step 
procedure to follow. The manual I have, that came with the car, does not 
even mention hubs or wheel bearings, much less procedures to remove 
them. I will venture into the jeep community and see what I can find.

Cheers, Terry
