Started out , heading over to a town 30 mins from home to swap out my tires with a fellow Jeeper. Met him on line asking if anyone wanted to swap out tires. His 2 week old, 2001 jeep wrangler is a 4 cyl and it came with new 35 x 15s BF Goodrich MT KM2s and he wanted some 33s. So it just worked out that my Falken 33s AT I had were what he was looking for, so we swapped today at a tire /mechanic shop close to his home that my brother happens to run. Well the KM2s rode great!!! I really like the look and the ride was amazing for a MT.
So while I was at the shop they found a leaking axle seal. I came home took the tire, brake drum, dif. cover, bearing cap, cross pin bolt, cross pin, C clip, axle, axle seal all out. There seemed to be an issue with about everything I did. The bearing looks great so I left it there and then replaced the seal and put everything back in. Whew that was a pain in the butt.
so first part of the day was great , second part was a challenge .
