If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

An easy job if you have a toolkit, sounds like you already know the problem as you have bought the correct parts.
See the blue bar next to the BIG JIMNY logo?
Click on the "information" then select "how to guides" and download a nice pdf of how to change the kingpin bearings.
Let us know how you get on, or if you get stuck.

First Job I did on my jimny was the kingpin bearings, seems daunting but follow the guide first time will probably take about 3-4hours but the second set i did only took about 1 1/2hrs.
Go for it! it'll be fine
