Hey all!

 

i am trying to remove the 4 19mm bolts that attach the Rear bearing to the rear hub. I have nfi how people do this with the hub attached to the car, all the guides just say move the driveshaft back a bit, but mine doesn’t move any further back and I can’t get a socket on the the bolts as the driveshaft interferes.

 

anyone got any ideas? Any help would be awesome!

If you are buying new tools to undo stubborn bolts, generally 1/2 sockets and long bars "breaker bars" are the cheapest way. Long spanners exist but you have to buy each size, and they wont always get at the bolt head as they have to be flat against it, with a socket you can use various length extensions to get at the bolt head

God I’m an idiot sometimes.... socket fits on but couldn’t get my ratchet spanner on.... nfi why I didn’t just use my breaker bar!!!! (For the driveshaft bolts)

You can always put more torque on something with a large breaker bar than with a rattle gun. If the bar isn't long enough, extend it with something like a jack handle or iron pipe.

Also, give it a bit of heat with a blow torch first, and a shock or 2 as well (put socket over bolt, hit firmly with hammer a couple of times)

BTW, question we should have asked first....what are you trying to do? Change rear wheel bearings I guess? If so you should undo the control arms and ball joints and remove that big bolt in a vice on a bench. All the other stuff like reinstalling bearings and dust seals will be easier with the hub off the car. And it will have to come off for pressing the centres out anyway

I need to remove the hubs to add a 6mm spacer for the alpha omega brake kit, such a pain in the butt! Totally should have just got the WTAC edition that didnt need the spacer. 
 

Anyway learning a lot. Haven’t worked on a car before with this many stubborn parts! So at least I’m learning!

Ok! Finally got the stupid thing off!

even after using a 2m breaker bar, no dice. I went and bought a proper 6 point 27mm socket rather than the 12 point I had. Used some WD40 specialty penetrating oil. Used my impact wrench again, no issue.

 

pretty sure the 6point socket was the key as it had no flex in the socket at all, compared to the 12 point which just wasn’t up to mustard

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
