Nissan D21 Hardbody Rear Axle Seal and Wheel Seal Replacement by Howstuffinmycarworks

This video explains how to replace the rear Axle Seal and Wheel Seal ( Grease Seal). On D21 Nissan Hardbody Trucks equipped with single rear wheel, these steps don't apply to the 1 Ton version that has dual rear wheels.
This is a complete step by step guide for the DIY enthusiast, it covers removal of each item, it also explains how to re-pack the Wheel Bearing and how to bleed the Brake System after all the components have been installed.
The hardest part of this job is pressing the Wheel Bearing in and out, there is a need to use a Shop Press for this procedure, however, you can still do all the other steps and take your axle/backing plate assembly to your local Machine Shop and they can Press the Bearing out and install the Wheel Seal for you.
Doing it this way will still save you money plus it will give you the sense of accomplishment by doing most of the work yourself.

I have a 1985 Nissan 720 pickup and I have looked all over for instructions on how to change both the axle seal and the wheel seal to no avail; then I found your video. The entire assembly from the D21 looks identical to mine (I also have a 720 factory service manual that details the process pretty much exactly as you described, except they specify using the "special tool" to remove the nut). I found your video to be excellent, with great camera work. Your instructions were clear and detailed (just the way I need it). Now I've got to either buy a hydraulic press or find somebody with a press who can press the bearings out and in. Liked and subscribed.

[@briank4621]

Fantastic explanation on the d21 rear axle bearing and seal replacement. Thank you 🙏. May I ask what was the pipe diameter for the bearing ?

[@omargs2008ify]

thanks for helping me out, God bless

[@perroloco2176]

Im not understand english, but video very good 😃👍🏾

[@sterlynali6679]

Good video sir was very helpful

[@riogue]

If you used a new bearing, how would you figure out what axle shims you needed to go back with?

[@MisledDan]

This is also the same procedure for the (W)D22 Frontiers and Xterras. One important thing to add is that the axle flange nuts are torque-to-yield so they're supposed to be replaced.

[@shith00k]

Great video!

[@wWLoganWw]

Great video! What size pipe did you use to go over the axle when pressing back on?

[@chuymedina9247]

good good tks for the video

[@sdjnwhyNZ]

What's the pressing pipe inner diameter and wall thickness?

[@theeightysixedendtimes5944]

[@malcolmsmith4695]

how do you remove back plate to replace new one as its corroded ,thanks malcolm

[@davidsoninc.5916]

thanks for the help

[@jp2code]

Before I start this, do you happen to know what size sockets you were using? I know I do not have that size, and it would be nice to get those ahead of time.

[@halleffect1]

this is way easier than I thought, no c-clips to remove inside the diff, leave to the Japanese to design something sensible.

[@markballenger513]

How many inches long is the spline axle will a 12 ton press work

[@Barret_Radtke]

i imagine it would be a similar process on my truck a 1984 Nissan 720 hardbody pickup.

[@eurobeatmachinist732]

Yes, there is a high change that it has the same c200 axle.

[@Tonychavez8226]

Is it the same way for a 08 Nissan front?

[@videoworks7731]

great thanks

[@carsonvandegriffe3764]

Any idea what size shims they are? I was missing them on one side, and I need to order more
