Hi,

Got a bit of a prob, rear passanger side bearing disintegrated, with it the seal, and apparently there's a spacer that goes b/w the bearing and the cover that holds the whole thing together

Can someone supply me with a diagram of how this thing is meant to be put together?

BTW, I'm in PNG, so going down to the wreckers is not an option

Cheers

In that case it's probably a local R31 with a live axle.

I guess the bearing your talking about is out on the end near the wheel eh!

If this is the case, the bearing you're talking about is just behind the axle mount flange. Correct?????

And remember, it's a retainer, ie it retains the bearing on the shaft. More importantly, it retains the whole axle in the housing, preventing it (and your wheel) parting company with the car. Don't just bash the retainer on with a hammer. I'm inclined to think that if you need to ask questions on an internet forum, you probably should get someone more experienced to fit the bearings for you.

yea if aus r31 will b bw78 diff. will need 2 drop ur centre out and press off the old bearing. then just go 2 a bearing joint and match it up (dunno what auto places u have there?). just normal taper roller/plain bearing or something (cnt remember) nothing special. press new 1 back on and this ring ur talkin about is ur shim, it sets the backlash between the pinion and crown gear. goes between the bearing and diff housing will def need it.

should b pretty straight forward taking it out when looking at it.

take wheels off, slide disks off (floating rear), undo 4 bolt axle flanges, pull axles out, undo diff plate, undo 4 bolts on the bearing cups. then diff centre should just fall out, might have 2 jimmy it out with large screw driver etc...

close-ish just dw about the mini spool part. more stuff on that site\/

We've got the bearing out, that's not a prob, but my mechanic recons there should have been a spacer holding the bearing in place. and we need the part numbers for the spacer/retainer and the seal

The old bearing was in bits and pieces when we took the cover and axel out...

:):D What is it about people posting tech how-to articles and them filling them with crappy mobile phone photos? Even the most basic phone takes half decent pics now, and digi cameras aren't that dear (my son's $70 job takes fantastic photos). Sorry for the rant but I take tech photos and write tech reports for a living and this kind of thing just sh!ts me no end.

Now that's out of my system, I have a Nissan Service Manual, and there are no pics in there showing the rear axle installation. It does, however mention the bearing retainer ring which goes on the inboard side of the bearing. Note this ring is never to be reused, and a new one will be supplied with the bearing kit. Your mechanic is correct - there should have been one. don't fret if you can't find it, as a new one will be supplied (as long as it's not floaring in your axle housing somewhere :banana: )

The photo below shows a Mazda RX2 setup, which uses the same concept as all live axle setups AFAIK. note that the locking collar has been welded to the axle in the photo - not what I'd call good practice, but it's how I got the car. Apparently it was a common fix for early Falcon (c1970's) when the rear axles used to pull out whilst driving.

      Ha! well, there's your problem!  Guess the last person in there didn't have great attention to detail....

      It seems like you guys want to behave like rabid dogs, rather than gentlemen... Knowing one has jumped in on a fellow comrades near done deal, and sniped it at the last second, how can one sleep at night?

      Installing the fuel sender O ring in R34 GTT

      Good news!!! Changed the O ring today and I’ve got the “pssshhhh” back when I open the fuel cap 😂🙌🏼🙌🏼 It was 100% the O ring because that bloody thing was inside the fuel tank 😂😂😂😂😂 Fitting new fuel pump was a pain as always since the DW is a bit longer than stock. But she’s running!!! ❤️

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      PWM quite literally just chops the ful 12V voltage on and off at whatever duty cycle you're running it at. If you're running it 100%, then it is on full voltage all the time, same as if there was no PWM. If you run it at 50% duty cycle, it is only seeing the full 12V half of the time. This is broadly equivalent to running it at 6V. But the crucial difference is that motors (and a lot of other loads) don't like being powered at low volts. They will either fail to start rotating, or draw a shit ton of current, or other undesirable things. But if you give them the full volt, and then a short period of no volts, and then some more full volts, then the times when they are seeing power they are seeing all the voltage, and they are happy. But you get the performance out of them as if they were only seeing that fraction of the full voltage. It is not really easy to answer your question about what flow you will get out of it at 50% duty cycle. I can tell you that it is not as simple as you think. For a start, that 460 L/h pump is not going to flow 460 when you're on boost. When you're on boost you will be somewhere down the sloping part of that red line. If you have 15 psi of boost, then the pump can only deliver about 95 gal/h, which is <380L/h. So your simple 50% on 460 = 230 wasn't going to work anyway. But also, it won't deliver 50% of 380 either, because when you devolt or PWM trim th epower being fed to the pump, it is not able to deliver flow or pressure in the same way. 50% duty cycle will probably produce <50% of the full voltage flow. The way to find out what duty cycle you need to run it at at low load (ie, at idle) is to idle it and turn the DC down until you start to lose fuel pressure, then turn it back up above that with some extra for safety. And then you do the same thing at full load, in case it doesn't need anywhere near 100% DC. And if you're careful/caution/prudent, you will also do it at a couple of loads in between so you can shape the DC map against load. It might not be linear between the two end points.
