R32 Wheel Bearings

[mystery_kid]

can someone shed some light for me (possibly wiht pics) on what the deal is with these?

when you buy the 'bearing kids', what exactly do you get? is it just literally the roller bearing? or is it a new hub assembly?

Thanks

Hi mate,

you can purchase the front wheel bearing kit from JustJap here http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=254&page=1

it shows you whats included in the package, 1x bearing, 2x dust boot/rings, 1x split pin.

more details on the installation of these can be found in this pdf i made from a guide i found on the internet - HERE

also there is the assembly diagram in the gtr service manual which is pretty handy

i have uploaded that section aswell - HERE on page 8

i got pedders to fit my new ones a few weeks back and they charged 130 for the pair! so try and find a better price somewhere else

Hope this helps

perfect mate

thanks

Anytime dude!

Just for my clarity, is there another way to buy the bearing already inside some kind of hub setup similar to the rear?

i've rang a couple of bearing places and burson's and they all want $140 - $175 a side.

this is the only way i know of to buy the bearings, as they fit into the existing knuckle spindle on the car (the unit behind the baffle plate),

pedders quoted me 200 for each bearing, thats why i went for the ones from justjap, ended up costing 170 for both delivered

you could also try getting them direct from cbc

dude come round by mine, ill help you press them out and re-grease them and repress. done the rears and front on mine, feel like new mind you the fronts are much harder then the rears. since im a backyard mech (actually im a sparky) hehe you sorta bend the baffle plate, but nothing a hammer cant fix. cheers

edit: is it a gtst or gtr or gts4? ive only done gtst.

edit 2: only got the equipment to press and re-grease, not remove and replace. sorry
