how hard is it to change the rear wheel bearings on an R32 GTR? what exactly is involved ?my ones are shagged and make noise,

can this be done at home, im good with tools and have nearly everything here at home, or is it best left for the professionals ?

if so who in sydney can change the wheel bearings ?

I have changed a front and rear wheel bearing assy on my R32.

The back is a lot easier than the front!

The rear ones are held in by 4 bolts and a large nut.

Take cv joint nut off driveshaft, jack up back of car

Take off brake caliper and disc rotor, (make sure handbrake is off)

Undo and remove all suspension links from the hub unit (alloy bit)

remove coilover too

either push driveshaft though the spindle, or unbolt from diff and remove completely

Remove the hand brake shoes, adjusters etc, and the bearing spindle assy cans be clearly seen

take out 4 bolts and the large nut on the back of the hub assy

remove spindle/bearing assy.

The spindle will have to be pressed out of bearing assy, then inner shell removed and spindle cleaned.

Press spindle onto new bearing assy (I used a vice), making sure it goes on straight.

put it all back together :happy:

I recommend that you get the relevant torques too to make sure everything is done up to spec, locktite etc.

Especially the cv joint nut.

Cheers.
