So i have a blown front wheel bearing on my 2004 g35x, i had everything around today, had the 4 bolts holding the hub assdembly to the knuckle out but the hub would NOT budge. It's as if it was rusted to the knuckle, i tried almost everything to get it off, pb blaster, tourch, chizel, nothing worked so i basicly gave up.

Any ideas? anyone have this same issue and find a way to get it off? A friend of mine said go to autozone and rent a hub puller, think that this would deffinitly work?

 

breaker bar...

 

? no i got all the bolts off, the hub is like fuzed/rusted to the knuckle and wont budge for the life of me, i tried everything i had at my house to get it off

 

Just a common sense question but needs to be asked...

You have an X (AWD) did you happen to take off the big nut (32mm IIRC) holding the axle to the hub??? You would need to remove that and the 4 bolts holding the hub to the knuckle to remove the hub.

 

axle was completly removed and the 4 bolts holding the bearing were removed

 

Damn. Mine pretty much fell out after i removed the 4 bolts. I'd give the hub puller a try. It's always worked for me on other cars.

 

When I did the rear wheel bearings on my RWD G, my bearing was seized in as well. I ended up using slide hammer. A few pulls on the slide hammer and it fell right out. I just had to keep working my way around the bearing to get it to nudge it out.

Heres a picture...

 

^^Same concept as a hub puller. The hub puller actually bolts right up to the hub

 

+1 you could use that as well. That was my next approach if the slide hammer didn't work. I borrowed the hammer from a friend, I think you might be able to rent one.

True.
