Q: How to remove and install the driveaxle hub and bearing assembly on Nissan Versa?
A: Loosen the driveaxle hub nut, then loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands before removing the wheel. Next, remove the brake disc and the driveaxle/hub nut, followed by the hub/bearing assembly mounting bolts from the rear of the Steering Knuckle. Remove the hub/bearing assembly from the steering knuckle, ensuring to support the driveaxle with a length of wire to prevent over-extension of the inner CV joint. If the driveaxle splines stick in the hub, use a two-jaw puller to push the driveaxle out. For installation, reverse the removal steps and tighten all fasteners to the proper torque values. For the rear, loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands before removing the wheel. If equipped, remove the wheel speed sensor and the drum brake assembly. If the drum brake backing plate needs removal, disconnect the parking brake cable and the brake tube from the rear wheel brake cylinder. For models except 2012 and later Sedan and Note, remove the hub and bearing assembly mounting bolts, then the hub and bearing assembly, followed by reversing the removal steps for installation and tightening all fasteners to the proper torque values. For 2012 and later Sedan and Note models, use a hydraulic press and special adapters to remove the ABS wheel speed sensor rotor, then the snap-ring from the hub portion of the drum. Set the drum on a hydraulic press with the wheel studs facing up, press the bearing out of the hub portion, clean the hub area, and insert the new wheel bearing into the drum before pressing it fully into place without applying any lubricant. Install the snap-ring ensuring it seats completely, then press the ABS sensor ring onto the hub of the drum, completing the installation by reversing the removal steps.
