FLXX member Benny Davis donated the space to store our bearing packing tutorial. If you are interested, here is the link: http://homepage.mac.com/bennylen/readme.htm

Hopefully this can be of some help to the rest of the maniacs out there who actually use their X's for what they were made for! Happy four wheeling!

I think there is something wrong with the movie link. It keeps saying that it can't find the home page I requested. Other than that I would like to be the first to say "Thank You" for putting your energy and time into this.

------------------

Actually that is my fault. The web page was taken directly from our forthcoming CD video on the subject and the link is a dead end link. So anyone looking for the video, don't bother. It's 159 Mbs and we're saving it for the CD release, sorry.

Wow, very well detailed and thorough. I now feel confident I can do this myself and save a few hundred bucks. What's a good source (online or otherwise) to get a bearing packer? Is it an AutoZone thing, or harder to find? What kind of availability is there on the seals; will I have to order from Nissan ahead of time, or do they stock them?

Do yourself a favor. Get the bearing packer sold on your local Snap-On truck. I've probably packed 50 bearings by hand, maybe another 10 with the crappy Lisle tool, then I decided to get the one from the Snap-On guy. It was expensive $35 but worth every penny. Bearing packing now takes just about 5 seconds for a COMPLETE fill. AND it's reasonably clean. I cannot even describe how easy this is now.

Can't make a link with a URL that long it seems. The part # of that item is YA470A if you want to search. Click on one of the feature items on the main page to get to a search field at the top.

OK, that's just weird! I click Pnut's link and it comes up as $53.45. If you go to www.snapon.com , click on any featured item's part number, then search by part number for YA470A you will get it at $36.15.
Not to mention, if you try and add it to your cart at $53 it doesn't work, but it will at $36, thank goodness.

That is bizarre, I just clicked my own link (above) and twice it registered the $36 price and once the $53....

What's up with that? I'd call them, just to be sure they aren't stealing $20 off ya!

The $53 is candian. There is a little Canadian flag in the top left corner.

Well I'll be... Mystery solved.
