Solid video, this was really helpful for my 02 Pathfinder (although my rotor/bearing assy needed some force to come free). I wish there was more info here on properly reinstalling and properly torquing the wheel bearings, I had to spend quite a bit of time to find a video where it's done correctly with the right tools.
Thank you for being the first video, yours being the 4th, that I heard the size of the wrench to use. I'll be pulling mine off tomorrow and know to grab for the 13 and 14mm. Thank you for your video.
One word...NINJA! If camera work overall improved (resolution, lighting, angles) i could easily declare you tube king of mechs. right now your prince ninja 😃. Great job, i am sitting infront of my exact same project.
nice job,the only thing ,is maybe I would suggest[for non professionals]don't use a impact tightening them,a newbie could snap those bolts clean off,with a powerful air gun.Clean bolt threads[wire wheel],run them down slowly,hand tighten,then,put a few lug nuts on studs to protect them,,inset a screwdriver or other long object through the wheel studs,to allow use of torque wrench,without the rotor,hub turning,tighten in a X pattern to the proper torque.use a compound or anti squeak spray on caliper side,clean and lube slides,pins,etc making sure caliper is able to float,[move back and forth]Newbies might want to torque wheel lugs too.
I'm in the process of doing this, but I've stripped those screws holding the wheel bearing lock nut in. How deep are they? Would I be able to drill them out? Any other suggestions? Thanks for the awesome how-to video.
Thank you for this video! Can you make a video for a late model Pathfinder such as 88-95 with 4 wheel drive, for removal and replacement of the front rotors? Thank you.
So about to order new hub assemblies and rotors for '04 pathfinder. Does the hub assemblies have bearings already in them so I don't have to mess with bearings separately? Thanks for video so few cut to the chase like this one.
Does this apply to both 2 and 4 wheel drive pathfinders? Put that nice new clean rotor on the dirty floor. I usually lay a rag down to keep the worst of the dirt off of them. And I always use brake cleaner to clean the rotors, and calipers before I put it all back together. Great video.
2 wheel drive is very similar. If you can do 4x4, then 4x2 is easy. Yeah, I know about the rotor on the floor. I had to rush to get this job done and my buddy (who's vehicle this was ) was pressing me to get it done. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you getting back to me. I have a 99 4X4 that needs pads really bad, and I was told that I needed to have the rotors pressed off of the hubs. I see that I can do that myself. The rotors on mine are still in good shape, so I will scuff them up before I put the new pads on.
can i remove the 2 front cv joints and axles plus the front drive shaft and use my pathfinder as a 2 wheel drive, the diff is shot, its an 2003 auto nissan pathfinder but i need to use the car 2wdriveing until i can afford to get it fixed
You would need to change the front knuckle assembly with different hubs for 2 wheel drive. With no axle shaft there, the bearings will pre-maturely fail.
In the future everyone will have 12 foot ceilings,so you can put a lift in your garage.They are affordable,few thousand + for a 7,000 pound lift[over kill for safety]
You tighten them snug. I literally just tap it counter clock wise to loosen it. That is about how tight it should be. Spin it in, and tap it a few times so it's snug. NOT TIGHT!!!
Do you know what size socket it is on these for the spindle nut cause mine won’t even come off with a air hammer and I’ve tried the hammer and chisel trick just need to know what size socket I need to get it off
@@FixyourNissan the thin one that’s holds the rotor onto the steering knuckle has two holes in it for a socket that has a nipple on it I just need to know what socket I need to tighten it because I can’t get it tight with a hammer and a punch it still has play
+barbara newton When ever you take the rotor off, you should pack the bearings to ensure that the wheel bearings will last. Not packing the bearings after a rotor has been removed is like taking a shower and putting your dirty underwear back on. You just shouldn't do it. Sorry for the terminology but that is the best way to describe it.
@@FixyourNissan yeah the top part where screw driver sit is stripped they were probably screw in at an angle or to tight ? Would i need to replace the whole hub assembly

Excellent video! You've saved me a bundle. From knocking that bearing cap off; to removing that tricky retaining ring off with a drift pin punch.
follow these steps one at a time and it was PERFECT right on!! I replaced my front brakes and rotors on my 97 pathfinder!! Thank you!

great video man. I was stuck, didn't know the front piece came off and hayes manual was no help. you saved my day.

The more video's I made, I got better camera's..hehe
hey man..thank u so do much...I luv that you guys share this stuff
I love that little impact gun you have i want one.
Great help! Thank you for sharing it with us. Thumbs up!
big job for rotors thanks for the video.
Thank you, great video, for explaining this process.
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching
AWESOME VIDEO Playa. Thanks
You welcome! Thanks for watching!
What type of snapping pliers would you use for removing the snap ring/c-clip?
AWESOME VIDEO!
Great video thanks
Thanks! I just saved myself $200 by doing it myself!
Does the bearing when it goes back in does it have to be tight or loose ?

Is there an outer race for the wheel bearings for a 2003 hub???
yes it's pretty much the same. Just the 4 wheel drive exterior hub is different. That is held in by hex bolts. Then that whole hub comes off.
Thank you for this video!
Can you make a video for a late model Pathfinder such as 88-95 with 4 wheel drive, for removal and replacement of the front rotors?
Thank you.
What happens if u drop the bearing
is this the same on a 92 pathfinder?
Thank you!
Your welcome!
So about to order new hub assemblies and rotors for '04 pathfinder. Does the hub assemblies have bearings already in them so I don't have to mess with bearings separately? Thanks for video so few cut to the chase like this one.
No, you would need a Race installer to install the bearing Races into the hub, and you would need a wheel bearing packer to grease the bearings.
Does this apply to both 2 and 4 wheel drive pathfinders?
Put that nice new clean rotor on the dirty floor. I usually lay a rag down to keep the worst of the dirt off of them. And I always use brake cleaner to clean the rotors, and calipers before I put it all back together.

what is the torque specs for the carrier to rotor bolts ?
So far I've seen 76 ft lb I took mine at 70 and it seems really tight be careful don't break a bolt
In the future everyone will have 12 foot ceilings,so you can put a lift in your garage.They are affordable,few thousand + for a 7,000 pound lift[over kill for safety]
You can drill them out, but you will need to find another screw to use to secure the locking plate.
When reinstalling the rotor , how tight should the nut be . Hand tight or should I tap it with a punch slightly .
You tighten them snug. I literally just tap it counter clock wise to loosen it. That is about how tight it should be. Spin it in, and tap it a few times so it's snug. NOT TIGHT!!!

Do you have to have the bearings repacked when you change the rotors?

i was trying to change out my studs but i couldn't get the hub and rotor to separate. is there another way besides banging the crap out of it?
Get out the torch and heat up the rotor then tap on it
Is it the same process for manual hubs?
Yeah, pretty much almost exactly the same. Just a few different steps with the hubs.
thank you so much !
and the owner come back cuz wheele shaking.... he dint cleane the rusty shit behind the hub Bravo!!!
Thanks!!!!!
What if the Philips heat screw are stripped?
Stripped like you can't remove them?

@@tavoavi1205 Drill out the stripped screw. If that ring is damaged, then it will need to be replaced with 2 new screws

yes the same sistem.. the parts 88 to 95 an much more years
Our 2001 crewcab se 3.3 4x2 looks nothing like this?!
a 4x2 will be different. This is a 4x4
Holy shit cell phones sucked 9 years ago 😂
