Nissan Repair: maxima 06 rear wheel bearing, member need, air tools


Question
How do I go about changing the rear wheel bearing?  Thanks for your time.

Answer
Denise,

I cannot imagine an 06 Maxima needing a replacement bearing this soon.  But, if it does it is a matter of unbolting the old one and replacing it with a new one.  The wheel, caliper, rotor and torque member need to be removed to get to the bearing assembly.  About an hour job with a jack and air tools.  Double this if it is done by hand.  courtesynissan.com is a good source for the new bearing.
