Thread: KABOOM! Bearing blew to bits

@wildmane
Thanks brother - found this for me:

no real name brand, but he said it works for him - If I use this with the skf bearing, mint.

Loop = closed. Thanks gentlemen.

Alright so now I'm really confused. New bearing pressed at the machine shop, got it back, looked good. Went to put it on the car and the cv axel when I inserted it, pushed the spindle and the collar out just like last time. I always thought sealed bearings aren't supposed to do that but I'm no everyday mechanic. Thoughts?

Did you use a new hub? If not the hub maybe scored/damaged and needs replacement. That's the issue I had in the past with my SE-R and NX2000.

So youre saying that's not normal then?

Take a pic of the hub, no it's not normal

Did you use new Nissan parts or reuse anything? Did you use aftermarket parts? Possible issue with wrong sizing or clearances.

I reused the hub. So the question I have now is this: can I use a new spindle, put The collar on it and use the axle nut to do The work if pressing the spindle in?

The bearing is the skf from rockauto, new seals. Hub is fine it's the spindle I'm not sure about

Got pics of what is going on? Was the c-clip installed in the spindle housing?

Ok so lets get me defined right. Spindle, the thing with the lugs on it. Hub, the thing the tie rod goes into. The spindle came out with the inner collar, showing the new ball bearings inside the bearing.
