Hey guys--first post. Hope someone can help. I'm looking to replace my carrier bearing on my 2005 G35 Sedan RWD. Actually, I've already removed it. Two questions:

1. When I pulled the old one off, I lost track of where the copper washer/spacer was because it all hit the floor. Does it go on shaft before the bearing, or after the bearing (ie, touching the large nut)?
2. What is the procedure to tighten this thing down? I've done these before and you usually crush the collar with 130-150 ft lbs of torque, and then back off, and re-torque to like 50 ft lbs and then stake the nut. Does anyone know what the service manual calls for?

Thanks!

 

NICOclub hosts our FSM's but they disappear from time to time. It appears they are working for the moment so I highly suggest you download a copy.

Thanks Blue Dream! I got what I needed from your link. Looks like 61 ft-lbs. And note there should be grease on both sides of the copper washer and installed as shown in the diagram below.

 

Glad to help, it's part of why we're here. Good luck with your repairs.
