GouldyGTR · 29th September 2008, 08:08 PM

Hi guys,

since having my car for 6 weeks the wheel bearings have been shot on the rear,

now i have been putting it off for weeks but the time has come,

anyway i have been told that i cannot just buy a bearing but that i need a complete hub???

if anyone could recommend a place to source the parts i need to change the bearings i would really appreciate it ,

Thanks

Jim

GouldyGTR · 29th September 2008, 08:38 PM

GouldyGTR · 29th September 2008, 09:52 PM

sorry mate but i wouldnt have a clue :? all i know is that they are making a noise at the moment lol

i would have thought that the bearings just press out of the hub?? had mine apart ages ago but couldn't tell as the axles rust in the bearings so they have to be pressed out as well - normally a tap with a mallet will remove them.

you are after the "flange wheel bearing" which bolts to the hub itself. If my copy of FAST was working, I'd get you the part # too - but your Nissan dealer should be able to source a pair easily - or see Matty @ Newera!! (I should get commission for these referrals!!)

I would be interested too in knowing whether you can change the bearing itself seperatly. My right rear one will need changing soon as it shot
