OK now for the wheel bearings.
So you had to strip out the inner race from inside the Disk. Yes its a bugger of a job and a Brass Drift is your friend. I have used the old race to make a new insert tool for this job. I have ground 0.5mm off the outer face of teh bearing race making it a sloppy fit into the seat. This allows me to use it to install the new bearing race without damage and without it getting stuck in there too. Very handy!!
Bit of grease to help us bed the new race into position.
the new race in then the old race in on top.
Its the right size
Did i mention the Bearing Insert tool before??!
a few good hits and she s in.
other side needs to go in the same way. Flip the disk and grease up and good to go.
Yep Love that Bearing Insert tool
Grease seal on the inside of the disk ready to go.
did i mention the Grease press before??
****EDIT 12th March 2017****
Please note that I am advised that the grease seal in the pics below has actually been installed backwards. I note that I have installed many of these seals like this and never had an issue with Wheel Bearings or damaged seals but Nissan says it should be the other way.
Please see the cross section image below showing the double lip seal facing away from the bearing
Attention. The seal in the pic below is in backwards. Install with the double lip seal facing out. Apologies to all.
using a small drift or driver with a mallet bed the grease seal.
....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!
