Over the weekend I have noticed an unusual sound from the rear passenger side wheel which i suspected might be the bearing. Over the last few days it has got worse.

So I took the wheel off and it turns out that it is the wheel bearing as there is a little bit of play when moving the top and bottom of wheel back and forward.

Just wondering how hard of a job is it to replace the bearing as I understand that it is held in by four bolts and it is not pressed in.

I do not have any fancy tools so if I was to attack the job, would I managed to get it off and replaced?

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Taking the bearing out is easy but then you have to remove the bearing from the spline thats the hard part, youll need to make a few special tools to pull it off. Other problem you run in to is they seprate into 2 pieces when trying to press it off the spline and your left with half still on.

Putting tge new one onto the spline is easy enough if u have a press.

OK thank you for the advice.

This is the one which I have just ordered.

I thought that you have to just unscrew the bolts off the back of it! I did not think that you needed to press or unpress anything!

I think I might just get a mechanic to do the job as I don't have any specialist tools!

So looks like this is the wrong bearing. Got it to the garage and they told me that it was missing the top mount for the hand break. After looking around they managed to get one in however once it was all bolted on they realized that the shaft would not fit as it was 3mm to small!

I had no idea that the there different sizes!

Can anyone help me with this as I can not find the correct bearing for my car?

Hey mate, hopefully im not too late on this one.

R34 GT and GTT's are different..

GTT's run the GTR rear hubs and GT/V's run the S13-15 R32-R33 non GTR hubs, the one's you bought off eBay will fit any S and R chassis minus the GTR's and a 34GTT's.. the one you would need is in the link below, its what Just Jap supply but you can see the difference.

I hope this helps as most listings for rear wheel bearings miss this very vital piece of info.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
