How to remove / repack / install wheel breaings on Nissan Navara d22 4wd 

Yep I got shown how to do that from a mechanically minded friend of mine.. lucky cos I would never have known 👍

Yeah the bearing packing was bad, but he is the first guy on youtube who actually pre loads the bearing like you're supposed to.

@@erik3423 I'm doing my wheel bearings tomorrow. Do I really need to pre loads the bearing or can I skip it? Don't have the scale. My dad never did and his repairs always lasted fine. I figure the torque wrench ensures proper tension on the bearing and the scale is to ensure the bearings are rolling fine before you put everything back together. Basically the pre tension check has more to do with mileage than anything but idk or I wouldn't be asking.

@@spaghettimonstersjudgingyo504 Preloading is done to eliminate play, if the bearing isn't seated just right you risk premature failure. That being said I've seen plenty of guys do this job without the tool and have no problems. If it was me though, I would spend the 20 bucks on the tool and do the job the way it was intended to be done. Again you'll probably be fine if you don't, just check the wheel at the 12 and 6 position after you're done for that death wobble.

@@erik3423 I replaced the left yesterday and I'm doing the right today. Skipped the bearing preload but I did check for play. It was fine when jacked up and I drove around a bit afterward making a bunch of right turns from a main road on to a side road to see if any looseness in the bearing would show up. It was fine. We have gutters on the side of main roads in AZ like reverse speed bumps. They put a lot of force or your wheel if your turning and hit them so I figured it would be a good way to see if there was any slop. My neighbor also looked at me like I was kind mental when I was making sharp left right turns driving down our street. They're weird people anyway so whatever. Also did the 6 and 12 thing. Honestly I didn't even know about that but it just seemed common sense. Replace a bearing, make sure it's seated properly. Thanks for getting back to me about that though. I had never heard of doing that preload step before.

Seriously!! Who taught this guy how to pack a bearing? He just wiped it on.

Thank god im not the only one

i know this is an old comment, but i have one and the front hubs look identical

I have 31 X 10.5 15 on mine and have 275k now and the bearings have been replaced twice with no damage. The tall rims will probably damage your steering though. About to do my third bearing replacement tomorrow. Just because it's time more than anything. The steering system on the pre 2004 Frontiers suck balls.

i have neg 50 and 33s still holds fine after 20k on it. But will propably check it soon

Patrolaparts you'll get the socket.

I used the old bearing to carefully tap in just enough to grab the thread then tighten to 60-70 ft/pounds to set the bearing preload then back off to 0/ft pounds then finally tighten to 13 ft/pounds PS: keep spinning the hub left and right as you tighten to set bearing evenly

your best bet is to clean all the old grease as it’ll have grit in the grease over time it’ll just shorten your new bearings life and it is always good to chuck new grease into every that needs it every now and then

I wonder how long before the whole thing failed! Did he actually knock out the rear seal and grease the big rear bearing? Or just smear a bit in there? I'm getting my 5 yo to do mine on the weekend, see how he goes! Jimmy

radha rampersad Which bearing? That hub should have 2. The first one you'll come to is the outer wheel bearing. If you replace the wheel bearing with a brand new one then you should replace the race on the inside of the hub. On the other side of the hub there's the inner wheel bearing, race and a metal and rubber oil seal that prevents muck from getting inside. The bearings are a tapered style. I have an Xterra and this is a similar bearing set up. I hope that helps a little.

radha rampersad You'll see the outer wheel bearing at 4:55. He's greasing and reinstalling it. Then the lock washer is screwed on to spec. He used a tool to seat the bearing. Seating the bearing correctly hopefully prevents play in the bearings, which can lead to all sorts of driving, handling, and breaking issues.

Two seals? I'm guessing you are talking about the bearing grease seals. Whenever you take those off you're supposed to replace them with new ones. 2 months late but hey.

hey do you know the name of that bearing he took out

radha rampersad inner or outer wheel bearing. both get repacked.

Hi thanks for the reply.. That's the bearing when he take out the clip rite.. The one that works the 4wd

radha rampersad I'll have to watch it when I get home and I'll give you time stamps and the like

Thanks that would be greatly appreciated

Shitty job

Packing the bearing with grease was a bad joke !!!
