My front left (driver side) wheel bearing is making noise ('90 Z32 2+2), and the wheel is hotter than the passanger side after driving it. It also makes noise. I know that it is the wheel bearing. I checked the manual and see that I need all sorts of special tools to knock out the old, and press in the new. It looks like a nasty job. I've re-packed and replaced my share of wheel bearings on other cars, but this one looks significantly different. Has anyone gone thru this already? If so, any advice?
Thanks!

 

I haven't torn into the Z's front wheel bearings yet myself. I have tho, on other newer vehicles with sealed bearings, versus the old familiar tapered roller bearing sets that we know.

In my experience on the other vehicles, the sealed bearings will be pressed into the steering knuckle. And the wheel hub will be a slip fit. I've dis-assembled everything down to the knuckle, and then taken the knuckle to the local auto shop for bearing removal and re-installation on their arbor press. It's not a big deal......

I could press the bearings out & in myself, but the press available to me is 30 miles beyond the local auto shop. hhhmmmmm, I need a new toy.

good luck
