that doesn't look like sarcasm to me, and I know sarcasm.

As for me, I always want to kick kittens and puppys... but mostly puppys.

Well, my front right wheel sounded funny so I pulled it apart. The wheel bearings are destroyed and the hub is all wobbly.... so the Pulsar is down again




I want to kick some kittens

To get the bearing out? Place a large socket or similar object on the bearing & whack it out w/ a hammer.

Les Schwab will push it out for next to nothing. I tried beating and heating my Subaru's rear wheel bearing and it wouldn't budge. My dad and I tried at it for a good four hours in the cold and nothing. Les Schwab did it in two freaken minutes, and they put the new bearing in and greased her up.

Does it fold up so I can put it in the hall closet in my apartment?

I can buy a spindle from the wrecking yard for $14! for temporary transportation that seems like the easiest method. A new bearing is $50

You can't go wrong there ....... unless of course those bearings are froze up too.

true. But if it turns quietly and feels solid, it should be good enough for a while.

It worked!



Ok, the body style that my Pular is went from 1987-89. The vented rotors on my car were available in 1988-89 (mine is an 88)

The 1987 car I found in the wrecking yard appeared to have the same knuckle and I already knew it used the same wheel bearings. I noticed it has solid rotors up front. I bought the assembly hoping it would work.

Look like you can bolt on the 1988-89 brakes onto a 1987 Pulsar for a small upgrade. That might also be true on the 1986 and older Pulsars... but I'm not sure. The car I got this knuckle from had the old 1.5L SOHC engine. The axels are not the same as mine but the end piece is that slips into the wheel bearing.











went for a test drive and the slight wobble and grinding noise are gone! ...although in reality I need to get new rotors up front but that can wait. There is still a lot of material left on the brake pads

Z-hag, we do have quite a few 240Z's for sale up here. The problem is the cost of transporting it down there.

you know, 240Z's are easy to steal (just a tip for you)
