Hi Guys,

Im wokring on a pair of R33 (2WD) front hubs, i want to know how to take the upper shaft out.

Its the shinny shaft with a castle nut on top in this pic:

From what i can tell it needs to be pushed DOWN, but i think i need to break something off first.

Im not going to re-use this shaft as its for a project car, but i do need the rest of the hub intact.

Also, how do you take the whole hub apart? to inspect the wheel bearings? - and how tight should the hub be? both of mine seem a littly tight.

Thanks for any help.

After ringing nissan:

The shafts are pressed in, not recommened to remove them, if you have a problem with them buy new hubs.

Hubs should not be dismantled, bearings are not replaceable. Hub nut is all pre-loaded to a specific torque. - again if there are any problems with wheel bearings you buy a new complete hub.

Hope that helps the next person.

I can understand about the pivot. It's not something i'd mess with personally.

But, I had nissan source and fit new front wheel bearings for my 32. I think the guy you talked to just put it all in the too hard basket and made up some bullshit. I removed the backing plate and there's a large nut in there. The spindle is actually press fit into the bearing, which is press fit into the hub (or the other way around :)) My new bearing were actually really tight, but loosened up pretty quickly with use.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
