I need to replace the rear wheel bearing on my 99 Nissan Maxima. According to the Haynes repair manual, I should be able to take off the spindle nut, and the bearing will slide off following the nut.
I called a few auto parts stores and none of them have the rear wheel bearing in stock. When I called a Nissan dealership, I was told that the rear wheel bearing cannot be replaced by itself, but only together with the rear wheel hub (over $120 each).
Is the information in the Haynes manual wrong? Please advise. - Ilya.
