hey im noticing some noise in the left hand side of my car turning im pretty sure its bearing noise, a kit for this is about $50 from repco, bearings and seals ... so i was thinking id just do it myself seems easy enuff i was just wondering if someone could give me any ideas on just how much time it would take? and what i have to take off to get the axle out? its an R31 AU Build skyline 1986 ... far as i know take the breaks off rotors etc.. then what else is needed to pull the axle out? |

really pack the bearing really well with as much grease as possible don't just give it a light coat you have to pack as much grease as u can into the bearing or it will last u a few thousand km's as opposed to a hundred thousand like they should |

Whenever I've bought a new car, one of the first things I buy (right after the fuzzy dice and nodding dog) is a workshop manual. Not the pissy little thing that the dealer puts in the glovebox, but like a gregories manual. |

[quote]nah you dont need a torque wrench or a press!!! you can feel the bearing pre-load with your hand and a spanner. and you dont need a press either you can just use a steel tube that fits over your axle. then you just have to make sure you hit it on the inside race!!![/quote] |

Blown13B you can buy as many bearings of us as you want. The way you are fitting them you will be repeat business. |
