    hi there all.
    i have just diagnosed my car as needing new rear wheel bearings.can anyone tell me if it is a simple job or will i need bearing pullers etc..
    i can get these from work..
    also can anyone tell me where to get some or even a non nissan part number.
    as i have rung all the bearing traders in newcastle and no-one stocks them....
    thanks...

    Had a rear wheel bearing done last month >>>

    but didn't do it myself. I was told by a reputable person that the rear wheel bearings HAVE to be a Nissan OEM part; think you will find they are priced around $300 or so EACH. If not, then I got shafted!

    You didn't get shafted.......>>

    The part is only available from Nissan as it is a bearing and carrier in one complete unit designed to mount the rear hub. It can be done at home but you will need access to a press to get the bearing off the drive shaft.

    Sorry to bring up such an old post...

    does anyone know if the rear wheel bearing could be removed from the axle housing without using a press, just the right sized drift and a big hammer? Or does anyone in Melbourne have a swing press and a free weekend morning/afternoon :)

    You got Shafted, Mikey >>

    I've just done both rear wheel bearings & they cost $260 ea from Nissan in Sydney.
    Fronts if your interested are $65 ea, but make sure you order the Grease Seal which is another $30 ea.

    In that case, He Really Got Shafted, what with inflation & all, he paid near on $300 a year & a half ago & I paid $260 3 weeks ago. :LOL::LOL::LOL:
