I replaced the inners, outers, and seals not long after I bought it. Got all timken and had maybe $75 at most in it to do both sides. Mine is an early '99 and only 2wd. If I remember correctly one of my bearings (inner or outer) came with the race, but the other I had to order separately - go figure.
I have heard but never tried that if you freeze the new bearings they will go in much easier. Anyone tried that?
