I just did mine yesterday, myself... lamin-x... $66 shipped.

I am down for whatever. The 16th is good for me if you guys want to have it at my house. I will supply the garage, grill and tools if you guys bring the food and booze if wanted. I have a shopvac already and a lot of good detailing stuff, but not a buffer. If someone has one, could you bring it cause I want to learn how to use one properly. I am good at polishing rims and also can wax cars(Pinnacle Souveran) if you bring them prepped.

As far as time, I suggest starting early as it will be cooler and we will have enough time to get every car done. Like around noon.

Hi everyone,
My name is Trey and I'm new to the forum but not to forums like this or to wrenching (mostly on my Ducati.) Anyhow, the whole reason I joined was because my 03 G35 Sedan 6MT has recently had horrible road noise, vibrations, wobble from the front. Needing new tires anyway I got that taken care of but the problem remained. I'm convinced it's the wheel bearings and I came to the forum for answers. Waijai's DIY threads have given me somewhere to start but I've still never done this before and I would so love to join in the festivities if I could. I can bring beer, food and my humble humility to the day's fun if that's ok. I have so many things I want to address on my G but I have to get this wheel bearing problem fixed first (I would also love to watch the clock bulb install for Toeknee.)

I would be so thankful if you guys can squeeze in one more. I would just need directions and a time. If anyone would like to holler at me I can be reached at (817) 800-7679 but I will also be keeping up with the forum from now on as well.

The front hub & wheel bearing come assembled together, so you don't have to press them. Installation should be just remove/re-install, but it is a bit involved and time consuming. The best way to verify if your bearings are bad is to jack up your car, so the tire comes off the ground. Place your hands at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock on the tires. Push on 12 o'clock and alternately pull on 6 o'clock, then keep alternating to see if there is movement in the bearing.

You can also try to spin the front wheel to see if it wobbles at all. Maybe have someone drive along side you to see if your wheel wobbles while in motion. I know my rear wheel wobbled a bit, which was a definate indicator of the bearings going bad.

Clock bulb install FTW

Anyone know how to install brakes? I am supposed to get my Ferodo DS2500's this week for my fronts. Hopefully I actually get them since I have been waiting since Jan for them.

Welcome to the forum TreyZx!

Thanks to the rain my grass is super green now, but it's been growing out of control.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction as to where to buy the parts I need (besides the stealership?)
