Brother, your commentary was entertaining, your patience was inspiring, and at a couple times, you had this look on your face (oh boy) but you did it. 👏 Bravo 👏
So I just finished this same job on my same blue Z. It was my first big solo project and I followed you step by step. You saved my ass! That last nut you had trouble with, I had way more trouble. Ended up having to take the compression arm off, and spent half the day trying to get it back on. But I'm back in the road! Thanks for the instructional!!
Get this, took my car 2004 350z touring coup to TireKingdom. Tbey replaced all the bushings and the front bearings, new cryo treated rotors and carbotech pads. And they fkn owned it, did great work. I was shock but i took it. Rides awsome
Great video! Unfortunately just had some studs snap off the other day thanks to you though the job shouldn't be as intimidating as I first thought new subscriber earned
Thank you! I am glad I could show this and encourage you to do this yourself. I am no expert but I show what I do in my own garage with basic tools that I think everyone has. I have slowed down the videos a bit because of the holidays and the freezing cold here in New Jersey but rest assured... more videos to come soon. Thank you for the subscribe!
Santiago Posada thanks for watching. It should be a similar process since your car is rear wheel drive and you do not have to mess with removing front drive axels or anything like that. Please like and subscribe to the channel.
Santiago Posada not a problem at all. I am just happy that my videos are helping and encouraging others to do this work also. Please like and subscribe. Thank you for watching.
Thank you. So since I am not racing or auto crossing my car I went to my local auto parts store here and got the hub assembly. If you are racing or auto crossing, I would suggest get a OEM part from the dealer. Make sure that when you get the part from the auto parts store, that you tell them you need the wheel bearing and hub assembly...If you just tell them wheel bearing, they will literally just give you a bearing...ask me how I know that. LOL.
Actually, I just thought of this, if its just your studs that are broken, you "should" be able to hammer out the broken stud(s) and replace them with just new studs...I think you can do this and am not 100% sure though. Trying to save you some extra work and money.
Na man, you can do it. Have faith. I learned all my stuff by doing. See, whats the worse that can happen? If you hammer out the studs and are unsuccessful, then you replace the hub and bearing assembly... you were going to do that anyway right? So why not soak those studs in penetrating fluid for a few hours and come back with a hammer and out some sweat equity into it? If you get the broken studs out, then awesome...go to the local parts store and just get new studs for like $5 and hammer them back in. Again, worst case scenario, you will have to replace the assembly like I did right? Always give new things a try, Thats how I learned. Good luck and keep on wrenching.
Bradley Brewer I thought I showed that bit but may have glanced over it. So I turned the wheel as far as I could and I found a socket that fit. (If you are talking about one of the four bolts that holds the wheel bearing and hub assembly on). Sorry it’s been a little while since I filmed this. Basically, at the end of the day, this job can be done with basic hand tools and a bit of fiddling around.
@@CarsAndMe yes that bolt that held the wheel bearing on. I see where you took the bolt out with your hand but it was already loosened. I guess the part I was asking about is when the camera died and you already took all the bolts out and just had that bolt loosened. Im assuming you turned as far as you could and finally got a socket on it to loosen it.
Bradley Brewer yes sorry about that. I got a socket to kind of fit and I ran with it. I was hoping it didn’t slip and cause any issues and it thankfully did not slip.
Bradley Brewer not a problem at all. It’s fairly straight forward and you shouldn’t have problems. Just remember to put that splash shield / dust shield back right the first time or else you’ll have to pull the new bearing and hub assembly out again to flip it around.
pretty good for a guy thats not a mechanic! next time tho we mechanics use a short cut by backing out bolts half way and placing a short impact socket to tap on the head of socket pushing the bolts outwards causing the bearings to push out. When the bearings move then you pull bolts out. Mera bahee bahut badhiya
First you should tell people why replacing it, did it have noise or other reason you found out- need to change... people looking for this details so they recognize the issues...
It is vitally important on any suspension that you follow the manufacturer's torque specs that you failed to do which puts everyone watching and learning from you in jeopardy. Don't forget the bolts you failed to torque is what the people are riding on. Remember, safety is always first when repairing a vehicle but you didn't seem to care. BIG THUMBS DOWN 👎
“And now orientation I don’t know ! Lol” thanks for the video ! Straight to the point! 10/10
Hahaha. Yup. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the vid
Much appreciated
The Mechanix you’re welcome. Hopefully it was helpful. Please subscribe if you liked it. It helps me a lot to grow and add new content.
at 14:32 I think the same thing every time I try to do a "simple' install. LMAOO I busted out laughing cause I feel your pain ):
Easy job! Easy life!)
Same here it always has to be a mission it's never easy😂
Awesome! Thank you!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. I'm literally about to do mine right now lol. Going to start with the front, but I'm scared of the back :/
Thanks for watching I appreciate it. The rest is similar (I believe) but a bit more work because you have to remove the axle.
Quality video
Mark Tucker thank you and thank you for watching.
Doing this tomorrow on my infiniti g25, since those cars are rwd it looks very similar I hope it goes in the same steps as this one
Also thank you for the video very helpful

Антон Алтая you are welcome.
I couldn't get a socket on the bottom bolt so I disconnected the ball joint.
Oof sorry to hear that man. I was able to bend the knuckle as you saw and make it work. I feel your pain. Thank you for watching.
What an awesome video bro! Two of my studs are messed up so i need to do this, where did you buy yours?

CarsAndMe are you serious? But idk what if i cant replace them correctly haha

Don’t be scared to beat it 😂
Thanks did both sides in 1hr..shop wanted $350...to change dem out..🤣🤣🤣
So how did you loosen the bolt that the socket didn't want to fit on properly?
Bradley Brewer I thought I showed that bit but may have glanced over it. So I turned the wheel as far as I could and I found a socket that fit.

@@CarsAndMe thanks so much for the quick responses. Im I'm going to change both sides on Thursday and wanted to be fully prepared.
Bradley Brewer not a problem at all. It’s fairly straight forward and you shouldn’t have problems. Just remember to put that splash shield / dust shield back right the first time or else you’ll have to pull the new bearing and hub assembly out again to flip it around.
How did your rotor come off so easy😭😭😭
Sheer luck. I’ve had on other cars where I had to sit there and hammer rotors off.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Ive found that a 4 lb sledge comes in handy
Dood always always always have the part before working on your vehicle.
Haha, I have the same problems you do. Nothing is ever easy is it? lol

Thank you for the comment. Also, thank you for the advice. It is appreciated.
Para que sacas el ultimo tornillo no es nesesario solo kita el balero y pon el nuevo
There's no reason whatsoever to remove the wheel speed sensor its a total waste of time..
Hydraulic brake line not a brake cable!
Adam Morgan thank you for correcting me. I didn’t think the semantics were that critical but thank you.
@@CarsAndMe no harm done. Good video btw.
Adam Morgan thank you.
Dude, edit your video ...it could have literally been 3min

Thanks for pointing that out. The video however rid how I did it and is not meant to be an instructional.
