Removal Of Hub

[cefiro]

Hey guys I am trying to get an answer on the following but its proving difficult, My rear hub has gone and I have been trying to locate what its come from and how to remove it?? I spose its going to be a 300zx hub, brake and rotors as its 5 stud, its also using nismo lower contrill arms as well. But do all I need to do is remove that massive bolt??? is it pressed on or what. I have attatched pics I hope somone can help.

remove the large nut, it should be around 32-36mm, u will most probably need to soak it in WD or similar, and use a breaker bar. also on the back of the hub there are 4 bolts, u will also need to remove these. i normally take the whole hub and knuckle assembly off via the suspension links, its just easier to seperate the hub and knuckle this way, but remember to crack the large nut first.

good luck B)

just to add when the hub and knuckle are both off the car, its probably easiest to seperate them by undoing the 4 bolts slightly and giving them a tap with a hammer, as they are normally quite hard to come apart.

Thanks juiceman, Thats the answer I was looking for. should be sweet now. Just got to hope that its the 300zx hub which I am 80% sure it is.

Also how did you remove it off the ball joint??? finding that part difficult

[juiceman]

the knuckle to arm bolts are quite tough, try taking the whole thing knuckle and arm assembly off by undoing the bolts nearer to the driveshaft(further underneath the car).

hope that makes sense mate.

cheers

Yeah I got the bolt off its just trying to get it off the lower controll arm. Seems to be jammed onto the ball joint.
