Over the weekend I have noticed an unusual sound from the rear passenger side wheel which i suspected might be the bearing. Over the last few days it has got worse.

So I took the wheel off and it turns out that it is the wheel bearing as there is a little bit of play when moving the top and bottom of wheel back and forward.

Just wondering how hard of a job is it to replace the bearing as I understand that it is held in by four bolts and it is not pressed in.

I do not have any fancy tools so if I was to attack the job, would I managed to get it off and replaced?

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Taking the bearing out is easy but then you have to remove the bearing from the spline thats the hard part, youll need to make a few special tools to pull it off. Other problem you run in to is they seprate into 2 pieces when trying to press it off the spline and your left with half still on.

Putting tge new one onto the spline is easy enough if u have a press.

OK thank you for the advice.

This is the one which I have just ordered.

I thought that you have to just unscrew the bolts off the back of it! I did not think that you needed to press or unpress anything!

I think I might just get a mechanic to do the job as I don't have any specialist tools!

So looks like this is the wrong bearing. Got it to the garage and they told me that it was missing the top mount for the hand break. After looking around they managed to get one in however once it was all bolted on they realized that the shaft would not fit as it was 3mm to small!

I had no idea that the there different sizes!

Can anyone help me with this as I can not find the correct bearing for my car?

Hey mate, hopefully im not too late on this one.

R34 GT and GTT's are different..

GTT's run the GTR rear hubs and GT/V's run the S13-15 R32-R33 non GTR hubs, the one's you bought off eBay will fit any S and R chassis minus the GTR's and a 34GTT's.. the one you would need is in the link below, its what Just Jap supply but you can see the difference.

I hope this helps as most listings for rear wheel bearings miss this very vital piece of info.

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
