rear bearing gone bad in 07 cc

[trainwreck]

Title says it all. Just wondering how hard is it to change that bearing, take the axle out ect.... Does anyone know if the axle is C cliped in or bolted to the flange? or what ever its bolted too? Also is the bearing pressed on? Oh, in case your wanting to know it has 33,500 mile on the BIT**

I tried a search didnt find much.

axle is bolted in youll also have to remove the emergency brake line to pull the axle out its not hard just dont loose that little pin that the emergency brake is tied into , i lost one , ill post pics for ya since im a nice guy

or u could do what mustard said lol

Thanks pics would be great. I doubt that it is still under warranty since i have bigger tires and a lil mail box damage on that side. The mail box did not hit the tire so its not the cause. Does any one know where to get a bearing, cant find one. I dont really want to call the dealer if i dont have too, big $$$$. Also quick question, what color thread lock is breakable with a hand wrench but still strong?

Anyone know if the bearing is pressed on?

pics are uploading , youll have to drain the fluid and probably have to take the axle to a shop to get the bearing off


this is the pin u have to take out to get the parking brake out


slides out

Dude I beat on mine hard. Its been offroad. I dont mind buying a bearing and fixing it, it just means I get closer to her!!! Just cant find the DA** part

Called Nissan today, said its under warranty, possibly with the bigger tires. We will see on monday. They were talking about replacing the whole rear end. Sounds good to me!

what rear end do you have? I swapped out a rear bearing, and it is not that hard. You will need a bearing, seal and sleeve. takes a little over an hour with basic tools. Probably half that with the right tools.
