Wheel hub bearing 2008 KK

[EvilclownTJ]

Hello Jeepsters! I have a 2008 Jeep Liberty. Trying to replace front wheel hub bearings. All YouTube videos show the bearing with the spindle coming thru it and mine is hollow. Wondering if anyone has any advice on how to remove the bearing since I can't use a puller. Does it have to be pressed out or is there another method?

Is yours 2 wheel drive? I'm not sure about the kk, but I'm pretty sure the KJ used same hub 4x4 or 2x4. If you're 2x4 that would explain the lack of a spindle. To remove the hub from the knuckle on a KJ I use a 4lb Sledge moving around the flange where rotor mounts a few taps at a time. After removing hardware of course.

Remove spindle
on back side of the hub will be 3 bolts, well not bolt heads but torx
remove them, tap hub assembly out and replace
easy job
I've even done one without removing spindle on two wheel drives since no axle coming through
can not remove bearing, hub/bearing all one piece
