Rubber thing in the center of the driveshaft... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

The rubber ring that is at the center of my driveshaft fell apart and is now 4 pieces...

How do I replace that?... There isn't a part number just for that...
And do I need to replace it?

but I heard 1 piece are back ordered.

Im pretty sure there is a part numper for that, unles it's part of that portion of the driveshaft.

not 100% sure though

Its the carrier bearing, take it to napa, buy it and have them compress it out, will come out to be like 50 bucks total. It's only 6 bolts.

-Disconnect the drive shaft to differential - Size 14's I believe,

-Unbolt the part that holds the carrier bearing - Size 17's I believe,

-Slide the whole driveshaft off, disconnect the big part from bottom part - Size 17 bolts I believe,

Take it to autozone buy the bearing like 35$ take it to Napa have them take it off and put the new one back on. and then your done.

Bingo...

Is it possible to change the bearing myself or does it take special tools?

I also found it on Courtesy's website...
Center bearing insulator... $27.22...
