Question 1

How to adjust the wheel bearing preload after removing or replacing the wheel bearings or reassembling the front axle on Nissan 240sx?

Accepted Answer

It is also important to set the wheel bearing preload after the wheel bearings have been either removed and replaced or the front axle assembled. Currently in the 1989-92 240SX there is only one wheel bearing that goes in the hub and it does not have an adjusting cap. Start by lifting and properly supporting the car next, detach the front wheels along with brake caliper ensuring that the brake hoses are safe. Using another thin tool more time and effort could be utilized in prying off the center hub cap, should this be helpful a soft hammer would suffice. Regarding the adjusting cap and the wheel bearing lock nut, pry out the cotter pin as well. Remove the wheel hub with the disc brake rotor from the spindle and pull out the outer bearing from the hub then follow it by the inner bearing and a grease seal using the long brass drift pin or one that will fit nicely on the hub hole. If replacing the bearing outer races, use a brass drift pin and mallet to drive out those bearing outer races. Place the outer bearing race until it is flush with the hub, and then fill up the bearing completely with high-temperature wheel bearing grease. Again, ensure that the hub and hub cap be packed with the recommended grease up to the area marked as shaded. Subsequently, place the inner bearing and the grease seal on the hub, and then place wheel hub with the disc brake rotor over the spindle. The outer wheel bearing, lock washer, wheel bearing lock nut, adjusting cap, new cotter pin, O-ring, and dust is then fitted and the cotter pin is spread, an O-ring installed, before fitting in the dust cap. Lastly, replace the brake caliper assemblies, if the brake fluid was loss, bleed the vehicle's brake system, and refit the front wheels.

Question 2

How to properly replace and install wheel bearings and seals on Nissan 300ZX?

Accepted Answer

Lift up the vehicle with the jack and firmly put it on jackstands, finally, take off the wheel. First, undo the bolts which hold the brake caliper on and then unscrew the dust cap and follow this by removing the O-ring. Remove the cotter pin and take the locking cap off of the wheel bearing nut on the wheel bearing. Lose the wheel bearing nut and washer on the spindle and unscrew the hub and the rotor; beware of the outside bearing falling off. Place the rotor in a face down manner on a work bench and then, with a screw driver, loosen the inner bearing grease seal to get its removal, together with the inner bearing. Scrape out all remnants of the old grease from the bearings, hub, as well as spindle before washing the area with parts solvent, check the condition of the bearings and if they show signs of wearing, replace them. If the bearing race is also worn or damaged, remove this also, with a brass drift for the bearing race out of the hub, and fit a new one together with the new bearing. Place a new race by using a socket to start screwing it into its seat with the addition of wheel bearings and bearing races being bought and installed as a set. To the bearings coat high-temperature front-wheel bearing grease and make sure that the grease is worked into the bearings completely. Apply a thin coat of grease to the spindle at various seats afterwards insert the inner bearing into the back of the hub and working a bit of grease. Apply some paste on the inner part of the seal lip, align the new seal over the inner bearing and push it and get it to be flush with the hub. Ensure that prior to the assembly of the hub into the spindle, the outer bearing carrying the grease pack is properly located and the hub before being fitted should be fully filled with grease. Place the washer with the adjuster nut, tightening it and rotating the rotor in clockwise & counter clockwise to press the bearings. After tightening the adjuster nut to the torque indicated earlier, turn the adjuster nut counterclockwise by sixty degrees to achieve the right pre-load. Replace the adjusting cap and use a new cotter pin, subsequently, use the dust cap with a new O-ring. Last of all, take of the jackstands and release the vehicle down.

Question 3

How to inspect and replace wheel bearings on Nissan Titan?

Accepted Answer

Put the parking brake on. Lift the car, put jackstands under it, support it, then block the wheels that aren't lifted. Take off the wheel, then look closely at the housing that holds the bearings to find damage or too much rust; this housing has permanent oil in it and will never need any adjustments. Twist the whole wheel assembly carefully, pick up any whispers of abnormal sounds and identify any unevenness during this process. Check if the bearing slides or wobbles when you move it in different spots or tilt it on the assembly, and if there's abnormal noise, you need a new one. On Titan models, the rear wheel bearings are installed directly onto the outer ends of the axle housing unit. Take out both wheels and shift to Neutral in the transmission. Keep the car securely lifted, and block the two front wheels to stop any movement. Check the rear wheel bearings by feeling for any strange noises when moving the axle back and forth and making sure you cannot move the axle when trying to rotate it without extra force. To replace the axle bearings, we need to carefully remove them from their position on the axle, and push on new ones.
