Is there a wrong freewheeling hub for my jimny as it seems to hard or costly to fix a seal in auto hub as you have to buy whole hub $666 each.I have looked on ebay and there are heaps but don't say for jimny after 1998 , mine is a 2002 model also is that all I need and gasket of course . Does anyone know where I can get a front wheel bearing hub besides genuine $223 as outer wheel bearing shell was moving inside hub housing no longer press in more like drop in. thanks in advance.

I am not sure exactly what the question is but you can fit Sierra manual hubs to a Jimny. You need to either grind off thee metal rim that seals the vacuum hub or use a BenT adapter ring. You can find them in the advertisers section. They come with the longer bolts you will need.

Glue the bearing in with locktight bearing glue and fit Sierra or vitara FW hubs.

Would you have a pic of what to grind off thanks?

Need to cut down the outside bit of the nut. It's bugger all, from memory it's only about 3mm or so.

Can also use a vitara bearing nut which needs no mods to fit.
