Mine are shot. I'm replacing them tomorrow.

1. They're new. Do I have to lube them or do they come greased?

2. whats the torque setting for the end nut?
Thanks

1) No, they're sealed
2) Check the service manual

Nope. Back when I still had the 30 up front, I found somebody local that rebuilt them so I didn't have to pay full price for the Jeep parts. When you go putting bigger wheels and tires on these things it just shreds those bearings.

The only maintenance with those is remove and replace.
