I had to replace on 04 Titan a few years ago. I found and aftermarket replacement with inner bearings in place and new seals in place. So it was a drop in replacement. It was about $100 more for the part at the time than the bearings and seals but saved a ton of time, cutting and needing a press! Worked like a charm for past 4 years. I also did the vent tube fix to prevent reoccurrence.
@@patrickseekins1299 yeah, it’s much easier to buy the axle assembly like that. If you have the time and tools you can save some money but sometimes it’s just better to spend the extra and be done!
Great video. I used it as a guideline and worked perfectly. Didn't had the tool to get the axle out but since I was replacing brakes as well I mounted the old disc backwards and used a hammer on it to get the axle out. Worked like a charm.
Rob Van Herreweghe awesome. It’s not too big of a job, getting the bearings off is the hardest thing. Glad to hear the video helped, thanks for watching.
First off. Thank you for your service.
Also, thank you for this video. It helped me a ton man. Really really appreciated 👊
Thanks for watching, glad to hear that it helped.
Good video.. mine unfortunately needed heat and two days.. but I did get it😅
Yeah, they can be a good bit of work but it makes you feel good when you think about the money saved.
Did this today. Thanks again for the vid, it was very informative and the procedure went pretty easily
Hardest part was getting that bearing off!
Really glad to hear that the video was helpful. It’s always a good feeling to fix stuff yourself. Thanks for watching.
Titan owners beware, the main reason the seal(s) go out is a plugged diff vent. They use a cheapo vent seal from the factory and after some time they corrode and or get dirt in it and plug and fail. Pressure builds in the diff and the weakest link is the seal, so be sure to check the vent or replace it with the updated Titan vent which has a barbed end and tubing to run up under the frame or else your seals will keep blowing. The Nissan dealer gave me the updated vent for free.
Hey, awesome information! Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know that. I sold my Titan to a buddy, we will check it out to see if we need to change it.
Knowledge is power! It's a great feeling saving money $$$
Aaron’s Adventures and Tinkering you know it well.
Please don't tell me that. I spend it foolishly, as if there's no tomorrow, cuz I think it makes me feel better :)
Gregor Miller we all have our own road to travel! 😀
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures well then, if ya dun mind, i'll just scoot over and share a lane *< :)-
Thank you for putting this video together!!! Very informative.
I've gotta do this with my 04 titan next week... And the rain won't be stopping for me. Ugh...
If you are doing the seals, a lot of people have commented that you can buy axles already set up with bearings and seals fairly reasonably. Best of luck!
Great video, need to replace these parts on mine and have some confidence going in now
A lot of people have commented that you can buy axles with bearings installed on them for a pretty decent price...definitely easier to do!
Love the "backyard mechanic" style especially have a cold Keystone when the job is done. 😉
Well, it’s what I am! 😂 Thanks for watching.
I think I see mine leaking on my recently bought Frontier Pro-4X. I’ll probably go the route of installing a new/refurb half axle assembly rather than chiseling off/pressing on the bearings, but it’s reassuring to see that this isn’t the nightmare job I thought it was.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful and well paced, you showed the repair in a concise detailed manner.
Alex H thank you, even installing axles yourself is a big money saver.
Come to find out that the Pro-4X frontier and Xterras with electronic locking rear differentials have different length shafts for left and right, and the axle shafts are WAY more expensive so I’ll be cutting and pressing the bearings in instead.
Posting this mostly as info for others who have Frontiers or Xterras with the locker. Procedure is the same as yours with the same Nissan and Timken parts, but the axle assembly is a different length for Front/X’s with locker, without locker, and it appears to be the same scenario for the Titans; axle shaft lengths depend on model and whether you have a locker or not. .
Justamente le aré eso a mí Xterra.. 👍🏼 pienso que calentando el separador y la base del balero, estos salgan más fácil.. como cuando instalo el engrane al cigüeñal en motores VW Beetle.. aré la prueba y veremos q pasa 😎
Excelente video.. solo quería ver si tenía q quitar algún seguro del diferental, pero ya vi q será más fácil 👍🏼👍🏼
I don't speak Spanish, so I had to use a translate program....hopefully it got it right. I think heating up the spacers and bearings is a great idea. I have used the oven to do this when my wife isn't home, don't tell her! Good luck, I hope everything works well for you.
I almost did this but due to lack of press I bought new and installed both with in the hour... Thank you for your experience tho
Sounds like it’s the way to go. I didn’t even look at them, guess I should have! 😂
Thanks for the video, I just learned something new for my 2004 titan, I changed everything to my truck when something breaks down, the youtube tells me everything but when it is already something internal to the engine, I take it to the mechanic, I don't understand English. my translator, greetings and again thank you very much for the video greetings from dodge city kansas
Translator seems to work fine. I stopped in Dodge City during a motorcycle trip a while back, made a video about the ride. Hope you keep the Titan running!
Great work Mr Tom. Hope you and family have a blessed and prosperous New Year!
Gregor Miller thank you sir, all the best to you and yours as well.
Very helpful video. thanks man for sharing👍
Michael M glad to share, hopefully you can fix your rig.
Heat wools to remove bearings and races also a cheap blow torch might save some time and the possibility of damaging an axel shaft
That’s a good tip, if I have to do this again I will try it.
Hey great jobTom,, very good job I've got the Ford Ranger it has the pin in The Differential.. I paid for it to be fixed,, Hey MERRY CHRISTMAS Tom to you and your family..
Tom smales yeah, some vehicles need to have the differential cover removed. Merry Christmas!
Thank you for the video! My son hit a drainage curb and bent the axel flange but our Titan has a electronic locking diff. Does that require opening the rear diff to remove a clip? It’s an 05 LE 4x.
I appreciate any advice!
I really don’t know, sorry. I would imagine not, the axle is the same.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Tom thanks for replying I thought I saw a vid of a guy removing a c clip on a Titan but it must have been a different year. The 4 bolts hold the axel in on this truck like yours instead of the clip. I appreciate the help brother!!
@@locustandhoney8597 if you find out differently come back and let me know. Best of luck with your repair!
Im doin my diff bearings and i left the drum brakes on wasnt a problem it slid w
Right out
Cool, less stuff to mess with.
@TomsTinkeringandAdventures yea at 1st was really Nervous about doin it my pinion bearing went out so upgrading my pinion and gears but really not to difficult just have to shim correctly
Awesome video... about to change both side on my 2004... I bought the complete axle shafts... Just curious if you could have just left the inner race on the new bearing... Thanks again for the info... 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I think the new axles come with bearings installed? Let me know how they are set up. Good luck with your repair, thanks for watching.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures went good actually did both sides today... Did not have to remove the brakes, thanks for the heads-up on that 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
If you don’t mind me askin, where did you pickup your axle shafts from?
@@andrewvv3233 sorry I didn't see this... I ended up getting them from Jegs...
@@justinlins4720 hey man, I am looking to get these soon. You think we could dm? I'm fairly new to automotive repair and I want to make sure I have the right tools and stuff. Thank you!
Should you shim the in to out movement of the axle shaft. Mine measures .011 total movement,pushed in to pulled out,I think that's a bit much but can't find mfr recommendations.
Any help would be appreciated.
Good question but I don’t know, sorry. I hope you find out.
@TomsTinkeringandAdventures
Timken cone and cup bearings,according to Timken end play .001 to .005.
I will attempt to achieve .003.
It is very possible that many premature seal failures are due to tight ( will run hot ) or loose which will cause the seal to scrub on the shaft.
Mine has aprox 1/16 inch in and out movement and did not changed after bearing and seal change. There is a way to take that play out?
@@MrLevi136 I’m wondering if there’s a shim or something? I’m not sure.
@@MrLevi136
No shims available,you will have make them and install in the axle housing before you place the bearing cup.
I have a 2010 and recently bought the complete rear axle shaft with bearings and seals already on it, DANA 20059941 fits 08-15 model years. Cost me $165.00. Don’t know about the earlier year Titans though.
Kevin Knotts that would definitely make it easier. The Titan didn’t change much over the years so it might work, thanks.
I just bought mine for $210 plus taxes for a 2005 Titan, this video will help me alot.
Ivan Kissi that’s a decent deal, makes it a lot easier.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures i know it is. Last time i paid a mechanic 350 to replaced the seals. You will save me alot of money. Thanks for uploading the video
Ivan Kissi I like to hear that, saving money doing it yourself is awesome.
Do you know if the timken bearings fit all years? I have a 2012 and when I look them up on amazon, it says they don’t fit.
Anaconda8686 I really don’t know for sure. Check TitanTalk forum maybe?
Nissan Titan 2005 Rear axle shaft bearing cage nuts and lock washers.
Anyone had an issue to tighten the old bearing cage to 87 ft-lb ?
One of my bolts broke at that force. On a new bearing cage tightening-it just to 50 ft-lb it felt that is stretching to much (possible the old nut stretched?). I tightened the rest of 3 nuts to only 40 ft-lb. My torque wrench it is in spec.
The Frontier documentation is asking only 41 ft-lb, Titan spec is 87 ft-lb .
Any thoughts?
Oh, that’s no good! I have not heard anything like that but maybe someone else has.
I have aproximative 1/16 longitudinal play in the axle even with the new bearing and seal installed it did not changed after bearing and seal change.
I just contemplate if there is any correlation between this two?
@@MrLevi136 I don’t know, sorry!
Where to buy axle assy? Great video, thanks. I looked online for a right rear axle assembly for my 2012 Xterra Pro4X, but the only one I can find is from Nissan itself for $430. I looked on Jegs, that’s where Justin Lins bought his, but I can’t find one. Maybe most places are out of stock? If anybody knows where I should look, please let me know.
I would check Rock Auto, they seem to carry a lot of stuff.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures thank you
Just buy the Japanese or Chinese parts. Stay away from american cheap crap like mopar, etc.
9:44 You should've bought a lottery ticket that day. (David Banner becomes angry and Hulk pulls out that bearing race with his fingertips.) What you just did has NEVER happened to me. Well, I've only done rear bearings like 4 times in my life, but similar situations with similar bearings have always had problems taking the race out, needing special tools and pointy things and tapping here and there and all around with a hammer..... I've left a few in out of frustration, too. hehe....
Every once in a while we get lucky! I have had plenty of frustrations with bearings as well. Thanks for watching.
Should you put more grease or oil back in??
Jeremy Bowen Did I forget to mention checking the axle oil level? Yes, check it and top off....even better is to do a drain and refill.
Could you heat the bearing and cool the shaft instead of pressing it?
You could, it would definitely be helpful. Might need something to get the axle cold....maybe an old fire extinguisher or some compressed air.
Still holding up? Still recommend timken and the seal I'm about to tackle this on my right drivers side
Also what year is this mine is an 05
Rewatched the beginning glad to see yours is an 05 also
Amy Pierce yes, 2005 and Timken bearings are good quality. I have had no problems with it so far, even went back and put new parking brake pads in....still no leaks.
How much is for new axle with everything the seals and bearings?
I don’t know, but it would definitely make it easier.
At 24:52, how far in does that race get installed? Do you tap it in place then let the axle install do the rest of the work?
It should slide right in, you can see where the differential is machined out inside there. It bottoms out. Might need a very gentle tap but not much.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Awesome, thanks.
@@hifiman4562 I hope your repair goes well. I sold my Titan to a friend, it’s still working well and I miss it!
Cut the inner race diagonally you’ll get more cut surface
Good call!
Clearly you do not live in a rust belt. Did both sides on a titan today. Got it done but the axles did not come out anywhere near easily or quickly......
Garry R correct, I grew up in Minnesota and remember how bolts used to rust to the point of needing the torch.
Next time you have to cut through A ring like that you should cut it on a 45° angle that illuminates all of the extra cutting you did through the bearing and also illuminates the mistake of cutting your exciter ring! Or you can just take a drill and drill right through the middle of the ring and it will snap before you even get close to Nicking the axle.Using a drill will eliminate the chance of making a mistake if you are not experienced! Also you should have taken some differential fluid and soaked that bearing right before you slid it into the axle tube!
Good tip, thank you!
thanks for the video, very helpful. i couldn't find out which oem bearings fits, so i am going to buy same timken set10 for my 2005 xterra. on which online shop did you buy that oem seal? can you write link please? and timken seals are any good?
I think I got everything on Amazon, sorry don’t have links anymore. Timken is a quality product. Best of luck.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures thank you so much
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures one more question please. your titan is rear wheel drive and manual transmission?
@@gogatbilisigeorgia rear wheel drive, automatic. I don’t think the rear axle is any different on any of the models, there only option was a different gear ratio.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures my xterra is 4wheel drive
Could you just get a new axle shaft for like 150? and do half the work?
If you find a quality axle with quality axles for that price, absolutely.
The guy I bought my pickup from told me basically the same thing it was good to go and there was nothing wrong with it I think I put more money into this truck that he says was nothing wrong with it then any vehicle I've ever owned
Sorry to hear about the issues you have had. Sometimes a solid reliable vehicle just gets to a point where things go wrong all at once.
Mean time between failure is what the enginerds look for when designing vehicles. Unless you can build it to last forever, you have to come up with a reasonable amount of time it should last.
Once that's figured out, using a bunch of components that last significantly longer than that only drives the cost up.
So by the time you start seeing bearings or something fail, chances are there's a bunch of other parts that aren't in much better shape. Then you just have to hope it's easy to work on.
@@Posichronic to be honest I really don't care how much money I put into it it's still better than car payment on ugly-ass vehicle
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures my vehicle is reliable right now just fix it and make it reliable
@@outdoorsmansgarage I am usually the same way. Putting a bit of time and money into a vehicle to keep it on the road usually makes more sense than buying a new one that only depreciates.
Is this the m224 dana axel, or is it the c200 rear axel?
I didn’t know of a different axle offered during the first generation Titan? Now I have to look it up.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures im not sure if there is for the titan either, but there is two options for the xterra pro 4x. I think the xterra and the titan both get the m224 but not sure. The part number you showed is in my part list for my xterra on oreilys site. I believe the pan on the m224 is a 12 bolt, and the c200 ia a 8 bolt
@@zealousray thanks for the information.
Did you have to put any lube or grease on the axle when you re-installed it?
Gavin O'Neil I don’t believe it’s necessary, the differential gets topped up afterwards but I suppose it wouldn’t hurt.
Thanks!
Gavin O'Neil hope all goes well with your repair.
When you took the outer race out, did you notice a spacer behind it? I know it's been a while, but just trying to figure out why I have so much play in mine after I reassemble it.
Just the spacer in the inside, no others that I recall.
Got it. Thank you. Apparently the retainer plate is bent/bowed, so I'll have to do everything again, and replace that too. I'm excited..
I ended up just buying a whole new rear axle assembly that costed about $125. All the parts together with the retainer plate, would have cost me about the same. Went in smooth took about 15 minutes.
@@ritchieorton4927 that’s a great deal. I guess I wasn’t looking in the right place, didn’t see any that cheap. Well done!
@@ritchieorton4927 This exact thing just happened to me! I can't figure out why the hell it has play in it, but that bearing retainer or cage is many peoples problems. Then they replace the wheel bearing/seal and they keep leaking not knowing that the cage/retainer is the real issue.
Thanks for this video!!!
Alex Martinez you’re welcome. Hope it helps you repair your vehicle.
Is this a 226?
Not sure what you mean?
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures is it a dana 44 226 rear end
@@rolltide9547 ahh, I believe so. I know the Titan uses a D44 variant.
What year is your Nissan? Thanks
It’s a 2005.
Awesome thanks. Good video bro looks easy enough to do this to my 07 Titan
You REALLY SHOULD put a jack stand when your working. Knew a buddy of mine worked at some crap shop. Im a master tech myself. Anyways, he was too lazy to put a jackstand and went underneath the car when just a jack and it failed and he was crushed. By the time someone got to him it was already too late. Safety first bud.
dicas1988 I had a stand along with the jack. Appreciate the reminder though. Thanks for watching.
10:39 SCAMazon 😂😂😂
I should probably be nicer…they do bring me my parts!
"it's sad that you have to destroy the bearing to get to the seal" and that's just how they want it.
m Cave yeah, it’s not a great design but it’s what we’ve got to do. At least the parts aren’t too expensive
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Thanks for replying. I just bought the bearings and seal for a Nissan Xterra 2005 and I'm about to do this project on saturday. So once I take off the axle I remove the raise from the housing then remove the new raise and insert it first? thanks for the video. Also I don't have a press so I have to pound in with a contraption. I called a local auto shop they want hundreds just to press the bearings in ridiculous. I also noticed that the seal was a bit loose in there is that ok?
@@tejano2828 I am not certain that the Xterra has the same axle setup. I would not suggest hammering in the bearings unless you are very careful, it's just too easy to damage them.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Thanks just got one of my buddies to press them for me. but again the raise, so just take out the old raise and then press in the new raise? I see some people just bolting the axle in with the raise on the bearing thats why I ask.
And the Xterra is pretty much the same as the Titan not much differences. Atlteast in the rear.
Make sure to check your axle vents!
The vent line on the differential? That's a good idea, I haven't looked at it. Thanks for watching.
