Will probably be doing these this weekend. I will do a step by step DIY if all goes well.

 

I had a axle nut spin loose in the rear, had all the symptoms of a failed bearing. I did trace the problem and tighten the nut. But before I did that I looked in the FSM to find out what is involved to replace the bearings, I will look foreward to your post on the install. I bought a used rear bearing/hub assembly of ebay for $40 just in case I need one down the road.

 

saw your post over on My350z... i'll be waiting for the DIY as i have as many miles as you do and will be needing this soon...

 

Nice pic! Glad to see they got to you in good shape!

Let us know how the install goes!

 

I had excessive vibration when i broke all the time. It got even worse once the brakes got heated. It was just embarrasing how bad this car would shake. The rear left brake was always squeaking and felt like it was scratchhing the rotor. When i was inspecting it i noticed that the bolt for the axle was loose! I tightened the bolt to 190 ft lbs and now its not loose anymore. The problem still remains though, i still get heavy vibration from the back, and the rear brake is making all kinds of noises. The vibration is not as bad as before, but this car doesnt need to be vibrating while i brake on the highway. I decided for new rotors? Could it be the bearing? Is it hard to change out the axle shaft itself?

 

I would go get it checked out...

 

Oh man, this brings back some bad memories of my Wilwood front BBK install.
In order to remove the dust shields, I had to remove the hubs. What a difficult task that was! I am assuming you have done this before on your G?
Mine were corroded solid to the spindle. Good luck. I have pics posted in my sticky thread above.

 

I'm actually installing the rears. I just had the hub pressed into the bearings at a shop earlier today...will tackle the install possibly tomorrow night.

 

Thanks again Jason for the great pricing and follow up. A+++

 

looking forward to the install pics.

by the way, the rear axle nut is 32 mm based on a look at the service tool required in the ESM and some google searches

 

awesome, I think replacing the hub/bearing shouldn't be too bad.

- remove wheel
- remove axle nut & cotter pin
- remove caliper
- remove rotor
- unbolt hub

reverse installation for new stuff

 

dont forget a slide hammer!

 

Don't forget to replace the cotter pin

 

MAybe this will help, unless you already have this info. =) Good luck

 

I've taken the front out to mount the OE Brembos (then discovered that none of my wheels cleared them). A mallet and PB rust spraying stuff worked like a champ. Not difficult to do at all.
