GORILLARILLA21` Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 So I removed the 4 bolts that connect the rear axle into the rear drum but now there's that gigantic nut in there that holds backing plate in. Anyone know what size nut that is? Or a better way in getting it off? Since it is pressed.... :yawn: Thanks. Quote Link to comment
nustad Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Are you going to change out the rear wheel bearings? You can cut the drum backing plate instead of removing the stub axles. Read the following thread: community.ratsun.net/topic/39927-removing-rear-axle-nuts/ If you remove the stub axle nuts be careful not to damage the threads on the stub axle. You will need new nuts and you'll need to order them from nissan. I have a bunch of rear wheel bearings new that I'll sell you cheap of you are interested. I'll get you some part numbers and confirm nut size. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 If your bearings are fine, save yourself a headache and cut the backing plate off. Quote Link to comment

I wanted to change out the bearings so I did remove the stub axles. It wasn't to bad but if your bearings are good there is not need.

nustad Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 If you decide to remove the stubs the nut takes a 27mm socket. The nissan part number for this nut is 43262-21000. I have two of the nuts and the wheel bearings if you are interested. Quote Link to comment
GORILLARILLA21` Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 How much for the wheel bearings? And also, I have a Subaru LSD diff, and before I took my engine out and everything, my rear end would make a clunking sound. It sounded like something was shifting back when I'd take off. It seemed like the rear driver side. Then the last week, it started to sound like metal scraping ever so slightly. It wasn't a steady scrape, it was every time the wheel would rotate to a certain spot, it would make this slight shaving sound. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
GORILLARILLA21` Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 The sound went a way a little when I'd turn slightly and when I'd brake but my drums looked like that had some life left. It started in the rear (I think left side) and eventually the front left started making noise as well Quote Link to comment
