Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I have watched it many times. I have the same exact problem on my '09 Murano. I have everything ready to put back in. My biggest issue has been broken bolts. Upper shock bolts broke off, frame support bolts broke off in the frame and exhaust bolts gave me problems. That is where most of my time was spent.
Fyi those are combination wrenches not monkey wrench. A monkey wrench is a pipe wrench. Also, they are not tall sockets they are deep well sockets.
Unless I'm missing something you do not need to make a line on the hub assembly and rotor. It shouldn't matter how the hub assembly and rotor are reinstalled. Please elaborate on this. Thanks.
You are correct. Just line the splines up.
Love this video really in depth good quality video to and this applies for lots of nissans in this year range
Mine has too wow nice video.. I have mine getting done by a side mechanic. .he still has my car an it's been 4 days... do you think it could be othe issues under all the suspension after it comes off..
Is it possible to leave everything and drop the subframe out and take everything off once the subframe is out.
I realize the driveshaft, brake lines, and electrical connections will have to be removed.
Yes, when i was looking for a new frame i saw some pictures of used ones that had all the control arms still connected to the frame.
Cellar Reno ok I’m getting ready to tackle this job. I want to thank you for documenting the whole procedure from start to finish. I think I’m going to just unbolt what I have to so I can can drop the frame out and then remove everything else after it’s out and swap everything over to the new subframe and install it as one piece.
@@ryand1018 Thanks and good luck!
working on this today going to try and drop the sub frame and suspension all in one piece. will add to this post so others know how it goes. good video. yes those are not monkey wrenches they are combo wrenches.
Lol propeller shaft? The drive shaft only needs disconnected at the differential. You don't need to mark the cv axle or the bearing. Treat all the bolts with at least 48 hours of penetration oil be ready for heat but many bolts are better off being ground off and replaced.
Why don't you tell the people is watching how to get to K frame bolts out of the frame if they break off he was able to get your nuts loose from the bolts holding the Great Frame up but maybe some people may break him off family going to do
Terrible tutorial. Wayyyy to many cuts
