Nissan xterra rear wheel bearing replacement C200k axle

[@robmaskell6006]

A great DIY video! Step-by-step and captioned wonderfully. I have a 2011 and doing this job now. I'm on Canada's East coast and I REALLY envy your lack of corrosion in Georgia [ you can keep the heat ~ ;) ]. Your job was a breeze getting bolts and axle bearing cage (plate) off; my dust shield pulverized on removal attempt. I had to cut sensor cog off, 4 cage plate bolts off, then heat them to knock the remnants out, and heat retaining bearing off (a buddy brought his acety torch out). Between work and working on this, it's taken two weeks...and I still have to re-assemble. And yes, almost certainly finding a shop to press everything back on. Best video on this job I've seen! Nicely done for us driveway mechanics! At 70, I'm getting to old for this! Thank you!

@robmaskell6006 Hey thanks you Rob. I'm glad my video helped and thank you for subscribing. I appreciate it. It Sounds like you had a tough go at it with the corrosion. That's never fun. I would definitely recommend having a machine shop reassemble if you have one locally. Save yourself the headache 😆 Best of luck and I hope your xterra is back on the road soon and trouble free. Thanks

Did same as you... on the end went on local junk yard and got whole axle part for $20 and replaced it in 35 minutes or so.

Yeah you gotta do what you gotta do.

[@I_hatecarz]

[@bigmikesbigbikes78]

Need to get a lift installed in your shop. 😉

[@michaelbejarano8623]

I need to do this soon i replaced my axel seal and few months started leaking again so im thinking i need to do the bearing as well

[@I_hatecarz]

@michaelbejarano8623 man that sucks. But if you have a press you will need some kind if adapter to press the bearing but if not then I would highly recommend taking the axle assembly out yourself then having your local machine shop and have them disassemble and reassemble. It will save you a headache 😆

How did it ride after you put it back together?? You're right about no videos for rear wheel bearing for the c200. Nissan really came up with a poor design when it comes to those backing plate. Did it solve the noice issue

[@I_hatecarz]

@frankmaxwell3176 Hey Frank. It rides great. I haven't had any issues with it since. I will say I wish I had known you needed a special tool or adaptor to use with your press to do the job properly.

That seemed like a pain in the butt

[@Raydaymay888]

Seriously

[@I_hatecarz]

@NoblePressureWashingLLC it really was. But hey now I know for next time.
