- How to replace the rear bearing on your ND Miata, model years 2016+. This method is much easier than doing it how the manual says!
A bearing will typically last about 150k, but its normal to last much longer or shorter than this. You can tell if you have a bearing problem if the wheel shakes, makes sounds that get louder with speed, etc. - Zábava
Thanks! Using this now. Replacing the rears in my new to me used 16 nd that has 170k and a new nd2 engine/trans in it🎉
Not many people have this many km at this point!
Hey man I just wanted to say I am in dire straits with the rear drivers side bearing on my 2017 Club and I was desperate for information on how to do this repair and this video has saved my ass. There is so little information online for this replacement and this has been a huge help, thank you! You have earned my subscription
Boy I looked all over the web for a video on this and couldn't find it! So I figured it out and had to share the findings because the factory manual instructions are RIDICULOUS, they tell you to take apart the entire rear suspension
Very useful video, thank-you. My 2016 ND is in need of new bearing at 99,500 miles. Winter isn't the best time, unheated New Hampshire winter and all, but these things seldom happen at the best times. I'm subscribing.
Dude! Thank you for this. Do you need to torque those three bolts going into the hub or just tighten as much as possible with breaker bar? Also, what grease did you use?
Don't know what the torque is on them, just made sure they got some thread locker and were tight. Not sure what grease was used, it wasn't anything special
@@BloodRedCypher Just one more question. I got the rear of my ND on stands. There is no play in the wheels to indicate bad bearing. But when I yank on the passenger CV Axle, in and out, it clunks slightly inside the hub and moves slightly. Doesn't do this on the driver side. It's an open diff if that matters. If I spin either rear wheel, the entire diff moves side to side slightly as the wheel spins, not sure if normal. Do you think I need to replace the Axle and not the bearing? Any thoughts on this?
Literallt been sitting here trying to replicate this and the three bolts on the back absolutely REFUSE to come off right now. I keep having an issue where my sockets won’t stay on the bolt they just pop right off the second I put any serious pressure
Sounds like your ratchet/socket is too big and/or you rounded off the bolt
