Changing wheel bearings on 2006 Micra Sport.

[bramhall-paddler]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and wondering if anyone has had problems with wheel bearings and has any tips or advice to offer on how to change them.

We have a 2006 Micra sport and one of the rear bearings is getting noisier and I feel it will have to be changed very soon.

All info and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Pete

Hi Pete, Welcome

There was a discussion about this a while back...here...

...Mine (15 dci Sport+) and my mum's (1.4 SVE) K12's have both had Rear bearings changed in the last few months, no problems since luckily
1 N/S and the other O/S...and it's a pain in the back/side LOL
...Next time i'll take her to Nissan/proper mechanic with a bearing press thing to do the job more easily.
My dad is great but it took absolutely ages to get the bearing out/get the new one back in...
The physical strength required...I mean my dad is a big guy and he struggled...I didn't stand a chance <_<

Good luck with it
