Nissan Titan Axle Bearing & Seal Replacement
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 05. 2021
- In this video I show the steps and procedures to replace a leaking axle seal and bearing in a Nissan titan years 2004 -2015. This is a very common issue with these trucks. Before replacing the axle seal and bearing make sure to check out the condition of your axle vent. Many times the accident becomes clogged and doesn’t allow pressure to vent and escape out of the differential housing. Allowing fluid to leak past the axle seal. Below is a complete List of parts and tools I use during this video. If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave something in the conversation. Thank you for watching

Y’all this is the best how to guide for this fix out there. Job went flawlessly for me on my Nissan xterra pro 4x because of this video! Same axle as titan in the pro4x. Throw this man a donation he deserves it.
Best video out there for this project. I just spent 3 hrs looking for a good how to. Why couldn’t have I watched this video first. Great job sir and great job teaching.
This is the best video on this topic. If you are going to tackle this job, watch this video first. Very well done and thorough.
Thanks Aaron for the quality of your videos and the parts lists/details that you add. 2005 Titan - I'd replaced the driver's seal some time ago, but the passenger is now replaced this weekend thanks to a refresher course watching your video - and, since you made the vent modification suggestion and information handy - got what I needed in advance to take care of that. Super handy having your parts lists/detail. Your CZcams channel is a great resource - thanks for the time you have put into making that happen!
You made this look much easier than I anticipated. Thanks for putting the video together.
Look so simple but if I try to do it will take me 3 weeks
Hahaha I’ve been trying to get this done for 3 months. 😭🤣
😂😂😂 I did replace my differential in my 2008 Nissan Titan 😂😂 I'm not a mechanic took me a day and half to do that it was a nightmare but I did save some money
Congratulations...el mejor video explicativo totalmente completo del cambio de rodamiento en un eje palier incluyendo la extracción del canastillo del rodamiento que por lo general suele quedarse en la taza del eje ..
Perfect. Got to do this on my 2007 nismo frontier. Same rear end. OK, time to get out of the hot tub and purchase a slide hammer and some parts!
Great videos love the full explanation of tools torques and how to I’m looking for a titan this makes me feel better when sh$$goes bad 👍🏼
WHAT AN EXCELLENT VIDEO. SO HELPFUL AND PRECISE. KEEP THEM GOING THANKS
I have to do this job soon, this weekend.
Fluid: 80W-90
Torque: 87 ft/lbs for the torque on the bolts when putting it back together.
best video Ive found for Nissan axle seal replacement !
Glad I bought my Titan as it's so easy to do maintenance on, and glad I found your channel so I don't have to waste time paging through thick manuals!
I love my 04 Titan. I've got 430k miles with original engine and Trans. Rear seals just went out obviously, that's why I was watching this.👌
@@Rcerullothat’s awesome! I just bought a 04 and just watching how to do maintenance and to do as much before anything fails or at least keep it from failing sooner. It has 165k
@@RcerulloHey, is that Titan still alive after this long? 😂 Fucking awesome if it is. I've got an '06 with 240k on it. I hope it lasts that long!
Yo AH, thanks for the video. You make it look easy. Have a pleasant day. Cheers
This video was very helpful. Thank you very much.
Great idea on cutting off the old one. I was thinking that a bearing press would be almost impossible without ruining the mounting bracket.
Great video and explanation .. really help a lot. … thank you
Best video thank you for showing this❤
Excellent video bro
Thank You,great video
I have learned so much about my truck thanks to your videos knock on wood any work on my Titan I do it but I wanted to ask you are you in the southwest because none of your Vehicles have rust on them
Great video! Thank you! Question though. My titan is an 07. I'm confused where the cut off is. Is it with the older models or the newer ones? The video and the links have a discrepancy about that.
Great video thank you
Great video. Question though, do you have to put thread sealant on the filler tube threads to prevent a leak?
Excelente video thank you!!!
Can you do an instruction vide on how to install a rear locking differential for the Nissan Titan?
I have a slight ridge where the seal was on my axle, that you can slightly feel with a fingernail. How did that ridge area and reusing the old axle hold up after time? Any leaks?
Any tips on installing the axle back in to get the seal to seat correctly?
Best video I've seen yet on the task.
Thank u!
@@AaronHinesAuto very good video. i want to replace same bearings for my 2005 xterra and couldn't find which one is fitting correct, can you help me please?
What kind of grease did you use on the race just before reinstalling the axle shaft back into the car?
I have an 07 armada and no air is coming out of my vents when i turn the knob... im thinking it may be a relay but im not sure where to find it and i couldnt find anything on google to fix it... you have any idea what it may be?
Great video!
Thank you!
Nice Video!!
Finally a good video
I was looking into buying axel shaft online. All of them say left rear. Are they different in position, left right? Or you can place them on either side?
Extremely good video!!! You hit all the important points! I wish all DIY videos were this good.
It did not pop off or slide in as easy as yours but a few wacks from the slide hammer I got it out and the new everything back in
Excuse me, can someone tell me if they have any bolts in the differential to remove the arrows? and I tried to remove them with the slide hammer and they don't come out, do you have any lock inside the differential?
Question Aron would these parts fit 2018 Titan SV
Made it look easy. I had an axle repair done at a shop and if there is any rust involved it can be a lot harder to get the axle out of the tube. They were using different slide hammers for about an hour straight. Then the bearing race was stuck in and they couldn't get that out easily. I will also mention that for regular folks it may be easier to just get the whole new axle assembly with all the bearings, seals, etc already installed. I just ordered the axle assy and took it to the shop to install. Once they got the old one out they just slid the new axle assy in. I have done the axle vent mod too.
I like seeing high mileage Titans. It's encouraging to me as I plan on keeping mine and just fixing/upgrading as needed. I have a 2010.
Very true. I would much rather replace the whole axle than just the bearings and seats. That is just too much effort in my honest opinion. Sure it is more expensive but factoring in me having to buy a hydraulic press, it would be about the same.
this a 3-4 hour job and $150 in parts. makes no sense to swap the axle.
@@isaaccooper2447 Next time ask for clarification before you assume you know. I only paid $167.00 for the whole new rear “AXLE SHAFT” with new bearings already pressed in and ready to install. No cutting or pressing required. Replaced old rusty axle shaft. Part# 2005994-1. Now tell the truth, you thought I replaced the whole rear axle assembly, including differential ?
Now come back and tell us all what makes sense to do now?
If you paid $167 for a complete loaded axle you are using subpar part, There is no way that you purchased a genuine Nissan axle with either Nissan or Timken parts! You probably purchased your parts from either a local auto parts chain or Amazon, Either way I guarantee your parts are junk! Unlike most people in this comment section my knowledge comes from over 25 years as a Mechanic and the past 10 years of being a shop owner! Next time you leave a comment trying to be cocky you should make sure you are comparing apples to apples not apples to crap!
@@NeverEnoughPyro40 Again, for those who obviously don't read. I even put the part# in my reply so everyone can see what I used. The part# is 2005994-1. I DID NOT say I replaced the entire rear axle if that's what you're thinking (not sure). I replaced the assembled rear axle SHAFT. It's not a Timken part it's a Dana Spicer part. You know, the ones who make that rear end. You CAN get the exact part from Nissan but it is $387.00 from a quick Google check. I don't care how much shop experience you have.......you're wrong and I want you to come back and admit that. Your shop reputation is on the line now that you stepped in like this.
So if I have a model year 2007 TITAN, I would have to buy the 2004-2007 set of parts ?
So should I wait on replacing the seal til I figure out if the vent is clogged or not? Great video by the way.
great video. Where do you get those black gloves and are they durable?
Brother, I have a 2005 Nissan Titan V8. I can't remove the rear arrow. One question: Is there a lock on the differential or not? Or do I just pull it hard? I already removed the four bolts and the brake sensor.
It looks like the race stays in the housing with the enclosed bearing?
Question Aaron - this will sound backwards, I know, but I did the axel vent upgrade, then realized the driver side axel is leaking. It was leaking before I am sure, but should I wait to see if it’s still leaking after the vent mod, or go ahead and replace the whole thing?
Hoping I can “wait and see”.
Terrific video! I feel confident I can handle it if you suggest replacing and not wait.
Does anyone know what is allowable movement in to out,is there a shim kit to shim behind the bearing cup and or between the housing flange and the bearing 4 bolt retainer flange,mine measures .012 and I think that's too loose.Any help appreciated
Wait im sorry for the stupid question. But, how do you replace the other side?? You replace one side then slide the axle in but what if both side fail??? Thanks
Did you put the bearing in backwards?
Anyone know the trick to getting the bearing race out without a slide hammer?
Good vid. I understand you were only topping off the oil but 80w90 while fine for topping off is the incorrect spec for a complete fill. I think this is important considering how fragile these diffs can be. Particularly the
04 - 07 models.
75w140 full syn is much preferred.
100
thank you for saying something!
Great video.
Anyone had an issue to tighten the mounting nuts to 87 ft-lb ?
One of my bolts broke at that force. On the new bracket on one of the bolts tightening-it just to 50 ft-lb it felt that is stretching and it is to much. I tightened the rest of 3 nuts at 40 ft-lb. my torque wrench it is calibrated. Any thoughts?
Would this be a three or four hour job for a good mechanic?
Awesome video! Thank you for making it. I am confused about one thing....on the race that you pull out after removing the axle. Do you put that same piece back in when you're putting it all back together? Or is it already a part of the new hardware?
It’s all part of your bearing.
What would a shop charge for this job?
So what do you do when it doesn’t come out?
Could you post link for the brass bar fitting and hose video you did? Thanks alot bro your videos have helped me out alot!
czcams.com/video/m4Gkz7YKmoM/video.html
U the best
The Bearing looks like same number with wrangler and Opel Blazer rear axle bearing. The seal alitle bir diferent in lip seal height
I have to do this to my Armada👍
Any videos for a 2019😅
I'm kind a new in many things about mechanics stuff, but I've seen remove stuff kind a bearings like this removed or installed by heat let say the bearing, the bearing gonna expand and installed like that? or can damage something by doing that? thank you in advance for your answer.
You can safely heat the old one to remove it,but new one is only to be pressed on. Heat can change the hardeness of the metal,and you don’t want that on a new bearing.
Question regarding pulling the bearing ring out of the differential tube at 7:02, you mention that you can pry it out, I tried that before having to get the slide hammer from the auto parts store. Because of trying to pry it out it created a couple little notches inside the differential tubing. Will that cause me issues with my new bearing?
That will not cause any problems whatsoever, However if there are any high spots just use a little emery cloth and sand them down first! My answer is based on the last 27 years as a mechanic and shop owner for the last 10, I have also performed substantial modifications to a few vehicles that have been featured in muscle mustangs and fast fords magazines!
Was the bearing packed with grease when installed and if so what grease would you recommend to buy?
These bearings do come with a light coating of oil or grease on them. They don’t need to be packed with grease because They are lubricated in a oil bath in the differential.
We should I do if the slide hammer isn't working? Axel seems to be rusted in place. I've hit it with 5 pound hammer a dozen times and no progress.
You need a heavier hammer and need to hit it more than a dozen times, Your best bet is to just go to a local auto parts store and they will loan you a slide hammer for free! Otherwise get yourself some good penetrating oil and spray it down and just keep hitting it and it will come free!
Having difficulty finding parts. Nissan wants to sell me Axle assembly 1,500.00 to 1,800.00 no parts to rebuild from them have to order the axle assembly
What kind of shops can I go to to have my bearings pressed into the axle? Is home depot a good place? Lowe's?
I believe Napa is good if you haven't done it
@@pjazcg I found a shop. Thanks for your help.
87ft lbs or good and tight
I hope you filed down those deformations as can be seen at 13:05 on the axle flange mating surface before you installed the assembly... flat and flush man, always flat and flush
Привет из России. Я сначала сделал а потом видео посмотрел. Практически всё так же ремонтировал.
In need of advice from anyone familiar with Titans. I have a massive clunk when I come to a stop. Now before anyone starts with stupid comments. I’ve had it at 2 different shops. And two friends that are top notch mechanics. No one has figure it out. Problem 2: that may be associated. The trans mount has broken and when under HEAVY acceleration the u-joint comes up to meet the floor pan and bangs as it rotates. So I replaced the mount. It lasted about a week. Back to problem 1: it doesn’t clunk if I stop extremely smooth. However if I don’t jerk it to a stop it will clunk extremely loud on take off, as soon as the truck pitches its angle(bed squats under acceleration.). I’ve dealt with this for over 200K miles. Does anyone have ANY ideas?
Where is the link for the parts
In the description of the video
💯👍👍👍👍Like 👍 👍 👍 👍.
Am I the only one screaming at the video when he uses the snap ring pliers?? Doing it the hard way dude lol, the handles should come apart and attach where when you squeeze them it opens the jaws, makes that step much easier then trying to spread them out...
Great video otherwise, I'm picking up a 04 titan in a few days and was looking ahead for issues I might come across
It looks like you didn't put the part with the rollers. (The first one you cut).
What do you mean?
U had me worried haha
So confused he says he uses Nissan parts but Amazon ships them
Some dealers and shops use Amazon to sell their parts
Never mind, I know what I missed.
🟢
Bro what the fuck. Mine isn't just sliding right the hell in like that lmao.
