rear brake swap problem - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Mr. H · 08-23-2009, 11:33 AM

I have everything off the car at this point and am having trouble seperating the hub/bearing assembly from the knuckle. I am using importnut.net as a guide for the swap but all it says is to seperate them. I have the 4 bolts on the back off, i am just wanting to make sure there isn't anything else i need to remove that might be holding it on or if anyone has any tips on how to get them apart. So far i have tried puting the bolts back in part way and using a hammer to try and persuade them apart, next plan was a bigger hammer. Thought i would ask you all before i tried that. any help would be appreciated.

Those 4 bolts are the only thing holding it on assuming you took the axle nut and all that stuff off. Its stuck on there good, spray some pb blaster on it and keep yanking it, it will come out eventually.

Loosen the bolts but leave them in, tap them with a hammer to loosen the hub. You can also use the large socket placed on the back of the hub and whack it with a hammer. Hell if these are 4 lug just whack the back of them until they fall out.

If you have the hubs with the tab, you would need to take of the bolt that holds onto the tab itself. That is if you have it. The nut is on the back. Z32 brake swap right?
