Then trade in on something else later. It has been machined down to clear the magnet assembly. I believe its all internal, meaning that the whole axle housing and actual axle shafts can be maintained while just replacing the other components. Any further work will be done as far away from Nissan garages as I can get! Maybe a solution would be to remove the Spider gears and re-heat-treat them, but I'm not a metalurgist and don't know if that would do more harm than good. I have seen people whip vehicles to death on ledges beyond there capability in Moab, but as an older, more conservative 4x4 veteran, I dont on easy, sticky Moab trails.
Unless they get a trailer stuck in the mud they are less likely I think to cause the wheel spin to break diffs. Do not reuse wheel lock nut, tighten the wheel lock nut specified torque, remove sensor rotor, using suitable tool A. I do understand the difference between the skinny pedal and the fat one and tend to be adverse from spinning my tires wildly. I've never seen one, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how only 2 gears can do the job. Nissan told me that the clutch is a normal wear item in manual transmitions.
So the crisis is just starting to brew on the X side. While the slickrock is sticky, spinning tires is rare, or limited. Thats official then, no matter how long it takes the legal system to get Nissan to cough up my first diff these vehicles must not be taken off-road until upgrades are ready, or risk getting stranded. I just watch the wheel spin now a lot closer than I use to. Xterra Racer could maybe elaborate.
Put alignment marks on the disc rotor and wheel hub and bearing assembly, then remove the disc rotor. Fixing to run to the lawyer office now. It took my local dealer two days to determain that my front diff was blown. Objects in Bleepinjeep mirrors may be farther than they appear. I don't know my ass from my elbow with regards to what I'm looking at tho and if I have 2 or 4 Spider gears. This was the rear end I ran at the Parker race. So now, the next couple days are going to be a marathon finishing the Jeep, getting it inspected just so I have something to drive back and forth to work in.
How-to videos may be too intense for some viewers and children under 30 years of age. The trip trashes stuff on the truck and much of my camping gear due to the bottoming out design flaw. Good luck to everyone and I hope I dont join that special club of broken diffs. I fired up the old 250,000 mile Montero today and plan to to get it workable for a few trips atleast until I can see if Xterra Racers solutions will be out soon, and viable or whether detail and trade in is the way to go. Blowing the side gear would act the same as blowing the spider gears. Those things drove every other kind of pickup used in the area, including Toyotas, literally into the ground. So great that I seriously considered trading in my '01.
Believe me that when something comes out you will know it same day! It will get very expensive unless I swap everything out for Bullet proof and then find the next weak link. Always install a new axle oil seal. Remove the bearing ring retainer from the axle shaft using Tool as shown. I bet it will hold up better than the factory unit did. I hope we can find out if it is the 2 spider gear units letting go so fast. .
The bad news is that it took a lot of time. Nissan does not sell the end gear separate. I need to find that. The magnet pushes a plate with fingers out to engage the locker. That you have to remove the ring gear and then you can split the case to get at the spiders. The 2 spider axle blew out after 150 miles of racing.
If necessary tap around it with a soft hammer while removing. Front and rear axle swaps at 14K? Why risk a new truck? Cooper: Very disconcerting to hear about so many broken Xs and Nissan's lack of support. Install the axle bearing studs using a suitable press to attach the axle bearing to the back plate and torque member. If you had a failure and had it replaced under warranty, tell me where. I snuck over to both the Titan and Frontier forums today, and moral is headed downhill for sure. You seem to be the most vocal out of any 2nd gen owner on this board when it comes to needs for upgrades.
It has been machined down to clear the magnet assembly. On the 4 spider diff, the case has to be closed so the other 2 shafts have material to be mounted into. The axle oil seal must be replaced every time the axle shaft assembly is removed from the axle shaft housing. Nissan customer service sucks and the Xterra is great for camping, not hard-core wheeling. I am currently developing a solid billet steel spool for the M226 rear end. If you spin the rear tire you may hear the grinding noise. If the passanger side side gear is infact the weak point, that's what sounds like Lloyd blew.
Replace the wheel hub assembly if the axial end play exceeds specification, or if the wheel bearing does not, the wheel hub assembly does not require maintenance, growling noise is emitted from the wheel hub bearing during operation, wheel hub bearing drags turns roughly. If I am not mistaken the guy with the Nismo Frontier had his rearend rebuilt on his own dime. I sent them samples and gave them a lot of input as to what we need. On the positive side it sounds like Xterra Racer is working hard at an economical solution to fix these diffs. On the 4 spider diff, the case has to be closed so the other 2 shafts have material to be mounted into. It is amazing how fast a car company can creat enthusiasm and sales, then crush it due to a few failures. It's a fucking 'Off Road' truck for christ sake, what do they think you are gonna do with it? Second, what they are doing is wrong, and they need to step up and face the music.
