Rear Bearings needed?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

dct223 · 02-25-2004, 12:24 PM

Ive already searched and looked though pages of results with no real answer to what i was looking for..

Anyways... im planing on doing a 5lug swap in the near future on my 95 240sx. Since people are asking such outrageous prices on USED set of hubs im probably going to order new from nissan, plus i need the ABS ring on the front hubs... So.. in the parts catalog they have the SE hubs that i was looking for... but i noticed... do i need to buy new rear bearings as well???

I was just wondering if i could use the bearings that i have on my car right now, or if it would be better if i got new rear bearings as well and pressed them in... Also.. how hard is it to remove the rear bearing from the hub??

Thanks,

Davis

i think for the rear it doesnt matter, the inner hub and bearing is the same. just it would be alot easier to change the bearings now when its all pulled apart.

Its easy to remove the bearing from the hub if you have a press. I found new bearings for about 90/ea

Hrm... what if i left the bearing bolted on the car, removed the nut thats on the hub and used a hub puller to release the rear bearing from the rear hub??

Just to let you know your going to probably have to go with z32 rear hubs with new bearings. I tried ordering new rear hubs last week and was told they arnt being made anymore. From www.nissan-parts-dealer.com they told me over $500.00 for brand new z32 hubs and bearings. The z32 hubs are like 95 bux a peice wich isnt bad at all its the bearings so I'd try and find them used or just simply find the se rear hubs used for a price you can accept. Although they still make the SE front hubs...doesnt make since to me but they do lol.

ic.. well i questioned the place that sells OEM hubs and they never gave any indication that the rear hubs were not made anymore, or at least that they dont have any in stock... Anyways... rear z32 hubs and bearings are the same for the 240sx so it doesnt really matter...
