The most inconvenient design for replacing the hub bearing, the support bearing, and in general!!!! everything is much simpler on J10, it was designed not by engineers, but by those who have no idea how it is all sorted out and assembled!!!
Thanks for your comment, but this video is how we did the job in the workshop. Once the lower ball joint is released, the lower arm can be forced downwards slightly, and the hub carrier lifted from the joint shank. There was no need to compress the suspension spring. Hope that clarifies!
@@HaynesManuals I agree with the first comment. With the spring uncompressed there is insufficient down angle in the swingarm to locate the ball joint pin. To release the ball joint the spring must be compressed. The easiest way to do this is to trolley jack the whole shock upwards whilst the steering rack is still fixed. The ball joint can then easily be removed and replaced. Its also not recommended to using the lug nuts to release the hub nut. The forced required for removal could either damage the lug nuts or hub threads. Having someone simply press the brake firmly with the caliper on will ensure that none of the components are damaged. Good video though. Thanks
F@kin hell. I broke all of my fingers to do this. Everything is rusty and the nuts are not developing. I scream, swear and work already 4th day. God damn nissans. Never again

It’s not easy as it’s showing. Unless you compress the suspension spring, the whole structure will never lift off the ball joint.

@@kashonder Sounds like a Nissan alright. Never Nissan again. Im doing this job on both sides in the weekend.
You need a lever, i used a long piece of wood, tie it to control arm and step on it. They show it in this channel in viedo about cv joint replacement
Lower Ball joint torque is 92Nm or 168Nm? I service spec I see 168Nm.
According to the manual: Front strut-to-hub carrier bolt/nut = 168 Nm. Lower arm balljoint-to-hub carrier bolt/nut = 92 Nm
4:46 strut appears to be adjustable at the mount tower, was hoping to find out how to align it
Nissan make no mention of the strut position being adjustable. The only way to check is using a castor/camber aligning set-up.
@@HaynesManuals thank for the reply. So strange of Nissan though because strut definitely looks adjustable
