What's up everybody!
This is a DIY how-to on replacing the front hub bearings on a 2007-2008 Infinity G35x AWD & 2009-2013 G37x AWD. Replacing the front brakes are also outlined in the video.
Torque Specs included. In reference to the front brake torque specs, the brake torque specs slightly varied throughout the years, as well as between the different piston variations. Below is each years front brake torque specs as per the Infinity FSM:
G35=
2007:
1 piston caliper; Caliper Bolts = 18Ft.Lbs. Bracket Bolts = 98Ft.Lbs.
2 piston caliper; Caliper Bolts = 20Ft.Lbs. Bracket Bolts = 98Ft.Lbs.
2008:
1 piston caliper; Caliper Bolts = 18Ft.Lbs. Bracket Bolts = 98Ft.Lbs.
2 piston caliper; Caliper Bolts = 20Ft.Lbs. Bracket Bolts = 98Ft.Lbs.
G37 =
2009:
2 piston caliper; Caliper Bolts = 20Ft.Lbs. Bracket Bolts = 98Ft.Lbs.
4 piston caliper; Caliper to knuckle Bolts = 98Ft.Lbs.
2010:
2 piston caliper; Caliper Bolts = 20Ft.Lbs. Bracket Bolts = 98Ft.Lbs.
4 piston caliper; Caliper to knuckle Bolts = 98Ft.Lbs.
2011:
2 piston caliper; Caliper Bolts = 20Ft.Lbs. Bracket Bolts = 91-98Ft.Lbs.
4 piston caliper; Caliper to knuckle Bolts = 91-98Ft.Lbs.
2012:
2 piston caliper; Caliper Bolts = 20Ft.Lbs. Bracket Bolts = 91Ft.Lbs.
4 piston caliper; Caliper to knuckle Bolts = 91Ft.Lbs.
2013:
2 piston caliper; Caliper Bolts = 20Ft.Lbs. Bracket Bolts = 91Ft.Lbs.
4 piston caliper; Caliper to knuckle Bolts = 91Ft.Lbs.

* NOTE, ADDITIONAL INSIGHT REGARDING VIDEO: If you’re struggling to remove the hub with some light taps and/or the hub doesn’t want to come out or budge, use a Slide Hammer. If you’re cheap and don’t want to buy one like me, you can always rent the OEM Tools Slide Hammer from Autozone for free: www.autozone.com/hammers/hammer/p/oemtools-5lb-slide-hammer/2047_0_0 …if the hub bearing is as bad as this one in the video, the slide hammer probably won’t work because it will just pull the hub out of the mount, as what basically happened to me in the video. But if the bearing is still basically fully intact, you can utilize a slide hammer.

Thanks for doing this right, I was looking through RU-vid to get a look for any potential unexpected element on the upcoming work (discs, pads, and hubs all round plus new camber arms fluids etc etc.) it’s amazing how many incompetent people post their videos of them screwing up their cars and suggesting mechanics just make things up, it’s painful to watch them and a bl00dy relief to watch someone do it PROPERLY!! Thanks for listing the bolt sizes I needed to know the axle nut diam so you saved me a job dude.

@twinturbobmw535xi7 6 месяцев назад

I see these wheel bearing are bolt ons which is great. I was really hoping they’d weren’t press ins. Like mdx , I didn’t wanna press in the bearing and do all them at work so I bought used hubs. One side went bad then the other front. But now it’s going bad again. Fml. The hubs weren’t cheap either. $300 most wanted for 1 used hub.

You can pull the ABS code with a capable scanner to verify its the side you did. But something probably happened to it upon install, or is not in there correctly. They can be very sensitive.

@TheSilentStar 3 года назад

Quick question, there's a really common failure on these cars in the form of the rear camber adjusters ie. They ALWAYS seize and become unusable and end up having to be cut off until you switch out for aftermarket parts that have built in adjustment. If you can do that job I'd be eternally grateful as I'm gearing up for it on Friday coming up and would love to know the replacement bolts sizes and M for the Hub side. Until I get the car off the ground I won't get a chance to take a look and at that point I'll likely be cutting the damn things off.

@EricRodriguez-cx9ug 3 года назад

I have the same vehicle in an 07. I’m getting a shake/shimmy in the steering at 75mph. Could it be a bearing? No obvious noise coming from them. Tires were just rotated and re-balanced, btw.

@TheOriginalBeeCee 3 года назад

You could start with attempting to check the bearing, check out 0:25 in the video. If you have no noise and no play, I would doubt you have a bad bearing. Higher mph shakes a lot of the time stem from alignment and/or wheel issues. I would maybe be more inclined to think maybe you have a slightly bent wheel that was missed or something, especially since you mentioned the wheels being rotated..could of had a bent wheel in the back that got moved to the front, and now its more noticeable since its up front. If it were me I would evaluate the front end visually (wheel bearing test, control arms/ball joints, axle, etc.), and if nothing is discovered there, move onto wheel/alignment.

@TheOriginalBeeCee 2 года назад

I would have maybe considered that if I knew I was gonna be replacing the axle prior to the start of making the video. When I inspected the car many miles before doing this job, the axle boot was a bit torn...but wasn’t as bad as it ended up being in this video, from the customer continuously driving on it. Customer didn’t want to replace it until I showed him there was literally nothing left of it when doing this job. And typically, I don’t have to many issues removing a hub with some whacks. This just ended up being a bit more work due to the horrific condition of the bearing. This bearing was probably worse than most would encounter. But really, the best way to remove a hub thats still intact...if you’re not being to lazy...is get a slider hammer or go rent one from Autozone.

@chrisd5758 2 года назад

@@TheOriginalBeeCee I agree but the slide hammer only works sometimes, the hub itself slid out instead of the bearing when I used it so I took the knuckle off because I had to take it to a shop to press the lower ball joint out and out the new one in but when I took off the knuckle the bearing was still stuck I tapped it lightly from behind and it popped right out even though I was beating on it just like you were with the hammer and it was moving slightly its still easier just to disassemble a bit more to have more access but I hope this comment helps someone else who tried everything like me

Check how low pad(s) are, if they’re making any metal on metal contact, etc. As far as the rotors, if they have grooving and aren’t smooth, then they should be replaced. you can also spin the rotor to make sure its rotating straight, not “wobbling” or off, thats how you can tell if its warped and out of whack or not. Typically though, a rotor probably wouldn’t be warped unless it underwent some serious trama like a bad brake slam on the highway or something where they heated up bad, or if they were just neglected for a long period of time when they needed to be replaced.

do you need to change the axle nut?

@TheOriginalBeeCee 3 года назад

No, you don’t NEED to replace the axle nut. However, I’m not opposed to it being replaced. But just speaking from experience, the axle nut typically doesn’t NEED to be replaced after removal. If the nut is damaged and/or if the axle threads are damaged, then it’s definitely ideal and you should replace it, of course. But I’ve come to find the OE axle nut on most vehicles are of better quality then any aftermarket nut, especially the axle nuts that come with a lot of these replacement axles. And just to add to that, the factory service manual does not suggest axle nut replacement after removal, it just suggests discarding and not re-using the cotter pin only. But if it makes you feel better to replace it, I’m certainly not opposed. But in most cases its truly not a necessity.

And if you don’t have an impact wrench? That 32mm axle nut just spins…..

@TheOriginalBeeCee 3 года назад

Yes it will! But you can try a couple things if you don’t have an impact. First and best suggestion: once wheel is taken off with brakes still intact, have someone pressing the brake pedal in-cabin while you or someone is breaking the nut loose with a breaker bar. The more leverage the better. Other option, place a big pry bar or wrecking bar in between the lugs studs and have the other end of the bar planted on the floor to prevent it from spinning, then break it loose from there. That method is more risky and more potential strain on the studs. But both methods you can attempt. They’re some other creative methods you can find online, but my first suggestion would be my recommendation.

@mattd5893 3 года назад
