As long as it doesn't involve actually working on my Jeep, I'm OK with it.   :lol:

If I work on it, it proably won't work once I'm done  :crap:

kept trying to figure out where you'd find a bearing that you have to pack on the YJ and came up short :) - steering column was the best i could come up with :lol:

Parts came in. Parts Mike is a great company to buy from! Good prices and service!  :thumbsup:

Got it put back together. Torqued the outer nut to 150# Once the tires are on I can move it to check the other side. I have a feeling the jam nut will be loose.

Even if you were gonna pack new grease mixing it into old grease, remember to use the same grease that was in it before. Each type of grease has a different soap type.

Yep, same brand of grease.
