Hi guys. First post.

I have discovered I have a slightly bent rear axle on my 06 rubicon. I planned to replace it and the right rear hub. Can someone please tell me how to get the axle out.

Thanks

Welcome to the forums.

That's awesome! Thanks for the help. Is there any easy way to tell if I have any bad bearings.

So I changed the axle. Wasn't too hard to do. However, the tube on the left side was not centered around the axle when I put it back on. To get the hub back on, I loosened the bolts on the tube, placed the hub, and then tightened up the bolts. The wobble is gone, but I notice when I turn the rear wheels by hand, there is one part of the rotation where it feels a little tougher to turn. What have I done wrong?
