r32 GTR WHEEL BEARINGS

[gtr fan]

Hi all,

I have searched and can't find a thread regarding wheel bearings.

My questions are:

After you take the disks off are the bearings then exposed / able to be removed?

Are these a sealed unit requiring the whole assembly to be changed I.E cradle and bearing?

Rough cost of wheels bearings for r32 GTR?

I previously havn't had hands on experience maintaining my car but would like to start doing so and this appears to be next on the list, so all help is much appreciated!

I remember browsing through a CBC catalogue and seeing GTR bearings listed. Most newer hubs have sealed bearings that can't be serviced. If the bearings noisy it wants replacing, if not then its fine. Plenty of front wheel drives with similar setup out there have done a zillion km's with out the bearings needing to be touched. Cant see why skyline ones are any different.

Only a bit of info here for you....

Cost.......Gary Rogers Nissan, nunawading (vic). $140 per Front set (2 off). Midas, $150 to install. (pretty cheap considering they're pricks of a things to remove!!)

They're big, flat, heavy, non-conical, one bearing per car side things!!!

This was for my R33 non GTR!

Thanks for the info guys I'll start looking at getting the parts, If anyone has changed them please let me know of any particular procedures.

One of the rear bearings needs replacing in my car (has some play in it)... they are a completely sealed unit, and yes you have to replace the whole lot. Mechanic got the assembly for me, was over $100 but sub $200 to my knowledge. Its being changed this week, will let you know of any tips/tricks for getting it done.
