I installed the CJ / YJ Lower Bearing Upgrade.
Thought I would do it since the column is out and easy to get to. I took the old rubber bushing "stocker" out.
I break out the new Lower Bearing Kit
I packed grease into the bearing to help keep moisture and dirt from getting in as well as to lubricate. Then I just snap it into the plastic carrier and install. There's an O-Ring on the inside center of the bearing so I cleaned and lightly oiled the shaft so it would slide on (grow up
). My jack handle worked well to tap it down.
Once it's seated I just add the collar and the retention clip and I'm done.
