wheel hub assembly
Re: help ! wheel hub assembly (sbobo)
The write-up won't do you any help, it's for the front assembly but its for the RWD version and doesn't have the axle going through which complicates the job.
You need a thin walled socket to get the 4 bolts out from behind the wheel hub assembly.
Now after you get those 4 bolts out you need to spray some WD-40 or another lubricant and get yourself a big chisel and a sledge hammer. Now I changed it on my wifes 04 G35x and it was rusted in there pretty good. Just turn the wheel as far as you can to the right or left depending on the side your working on and hit the hub assembly from the inside out.
Good luck, the job isn't that hard, just these 2 steps.
1.) Getting the socket onto the 4 nuts cause the axle is in the way.
2.) Being able to smash out the whole assembly because it probably is rusted in there pretty good.
Good luck
Edit--- Oh ya, I forgot that this part isn't sold as the whole assembly. You need to buy the hub and wheel bearing separately. But when you remove the old one, the hub and bearing are pressed together. You will need to take it to a machine shop and have them separate it, then you can use the old hub and the new bearing and have them press those 2 together.
