I was gonna say same thing, northern WI here. What size bolt is that? Doesn't matter, just hammer the tightest size impact socket you can on rusted nub and get the pipe wrench and than drill and taps and welder ready just in case. This is after a week of presoaking and splash of torch if you are lucky and than get ready to look like you're ready to fight galactic battles with silver surfer after you heavy dose everything you can with anti seize on reassembly and it has now magically covered your whole body and part of interior and somehow got in fridge. Don't even look at the brake lines or exhaust or you will be fixing those as well. First drive rusty piston in brake caliper sticks because you touched it and reheat treats new bearing and you have run out of swear word combos. If you have never spent a whole day on one bolt, you are not a rust belt mechanic.

Nice job Marty :) When I do this kind of jobs, I like to use the pressure washer first to get the dirt out, less dirt on parts, hands, etc.

Super jealous at the rust free parts! Around here they dump so much salt on the roads in the winter you would have had to torch every last bolt at least to break them loose if not torch them off, then beat the snot out if the bearing to get it out! Awesome job none the less!!!

Excellent video. I drive a fairly similar car and, after watching this video, decided to change the hubs myself when they're up. Thanks for this video, marty.

Its a good thing you had a calibrated 274-365NM extension tube for your T bar, mine only goes up to 250NM. If it had been me trying to do this, I would have spent half the day releasing the drive shaft from the old bearing assembly.

This brings back so many memories as to when I was raising a family. Needed to fix and learn how to fix items from the house to the auto and all in between. Thanks for sharing and bringing back memories.

How do I get so excited when I see a new marty t video. Maybe its just coming of age , maybe its a dad thing . I dont know but top vid as always marty . Hope you and the family are all well buddy.

A tip I was given to check a wheel bearing that you can’t see any obvious movement or play, is to spin the wheel and with your other hand hold onto the spring and if the bearing is bad you will feel vibration through the spring.

Great video Marty! Really well explained, demonstrated and filmed. Always concise no bull, (no padding it out with rubbish) 100% USEFUL INFO &tips! Cheers 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thanks going to give it a try just ordered parts mine sound the same and give a vibration at 95 to 110 so got some play. A mechanical strore wanted over 1 grand in Australia plus parts to do this. Ebay 150 for a set of 2. Have rebuilt everything else in under the arch so easy thanks mate for your video will let you no how i go in a few weeks

Another great informative and practical video. Thanks Marty. I did expect to see you replacing the bearings in the hub, but Nissan saved some work. Love your videos.

A good common-sense approach to this job. I have seen too many people go into a repair with tunnel vision, not looking at other things that might make more sense to repair at the same time while everything is apart. Thinking ahead to making life easier the next time is always a plus, as well. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

As an automotive professional I have to say: Very clear and informative video. Safe and tidy craftsmanship. I couldn't have done it better myself!

Enjoyed this video bro. Having a complete bearing thing to just pop back in sure saves taking out and banging in new bearings let alone getting covered in grease.Safe travels

He needs a milwaulkee cordless impact wrench- my compact 12v one has incredible power - I’d def be using loctite on those hub bolts

Great vid, I followed your example and change the front bearing on my pathfinder today. Most was straight forward but those 4 bolts on the inside were a pain. I also seem to have more rust in Scotland than you do. The bearing was actually stuck to the hub. Managed it though 😀

Awesome video. glad that you caught it before it broke. love watching your videos. :)

Small tip you can put a screw driver in the holes of a vented disc and jam it from turning the wheel instead of putting the wheel back on ,we do it all the time

I recently replaced the left front wheel bearing assembly in my 2012 Chevy Colorado. The bottom rear bolt in the back of the 4 bolts really gave me a hard time. After a few skinned knuckles and mashed fingers it finally came out.

Ah, yes. Another great tutorial.😁 I Learned a lot from that video, Marty. I'll call you if I need some wheel work.

Nice job Mate, always look forward to seeing your videos. Take care and be good. 👍

Marty ya a good mechanic. As a fitter machinist and diesel mechanic i was taught never tighten in a circle always opposing nuts...Top bottom left one top right one repeat..

I enjoy all of your videos man keep up the good work

Must be great to work on vehicles without the curse of winter salted roads, thank you for posting Marty.

Thanks for reminding me I need to do this to my Rodeo this weekend

Another great repair Marty t .

Another way to get the nut off is as you said with the wheel back on but to then use a jack on the end of the breaker bar.

good work. Don't like the way they made you use a breaker bar on a universal joint, but it is what it is.

A quick way to tell which front wheel bearing is noisy is to drive the vehicle in a straight line, turn the wheel to the right and then the left. The noisy bearing will be opposite to the direction you turned the wheel. The reason this works is that the vehicles weight is transferred to the opposite wheel of the vehicles direction, putting the bearings under heavier load. One of many tricks i learned as an apprentice mechanic some 48 years ago. I should add, this test should be done on smooth, traffic empty roads, not Marty dirt tracks.

Being a mechanic in eastern Canada, I'm offended at how easily that frigging hub fell out of that knuckle, lol

So I take it the two foot long pipe is your 274 to 364 NM bar and your three foot pipe is 365 to about 450 ...... 🤣🤣 .... Good enough for the bush! Love your vids. Jim Bell (Australia)

@MartyT

Yeah you can get it pretty close to spec by gauging the weight on the bar and judging the distance from the socket to the point of applied weight, also taking into consideration whether the threads are dry or greased

I had to change a front hub on a 2wd pathfinder, very similar. Hardest part was getting the stupid ABS cable disconnected it was all caked with dirt.!

Job well done Marty

it really helps if you had mechanically inclined relatives to mentor (not I)- i almost replaced cv boots one time but didn't have the right tool/socket....and of course necessity the mother of invention, so a poor rural person better than urban rich person.

Lucky it was that design! Some other types (especially older designs) are pressed into the steering knuckle with the ABS ring on the outside of the CV joint housing which was easy to damage.

Thanks for sharing Marty 🇦🇺🦘👍

I wish you best of luck dealing with this. We also have major slides here in Alberta Canada.

Now you might as well do the other side as preventive maintenance ....my experience with Japanese cars is that have an almost timed failure ..if one side goes the other is not far behind ....in the US those half shafts are cheap enough to also replace at the same time ...again if you already have it apart it saves on labour later

Still some life left in the old girl yet! 🤩👍🏻

Nice one. The axle nut sets the preload on the bearings, so getting the torque in the right range is really key for a good bearing lifespan. Goldilocks.

3:11 - Undo the hex bolt that retains the ABS sensor in the hub rather than disconnecting the sensor cable. Much easier than fighting with those blasted connectors and you are less likely to damage the sensor cable. Ah right so Nissan supply a new sensor cable as part of the new hub assembly. Well that is a bit silly. I bet the existing sensor cable would have been fine.
