SOURCE: How to replace a front wheel bearing on 1996

The wheel, & brake componets will have to be removed to get to the bearing assembly. Then the center nut and the 4 mounting hub bolts will need to come off. take note of disconnecting the ABS wiring plug to the sensor also

Testimonial: "I will try that I thought it would be more complicated because of being a 4 wheel drive. Thanks for the info and I will try that next week."

SOURCE: 2000 Nissan Maxima rear axle bearings are humming,

rapeck: The Maxima rear axle bearings are manufactured as a hub assembly. There is a ring for the ABS which is fitted to the hub which must be removed and installed on the replacement hub.
A puller or other method is used to remove it and install it.
Aside from that, taking the caliper off and hanging it, removing the brake rotor and removing the axle nut. Torquing the axle nut is necessary. so there you have it...

• Any other questions?

I have a 1994 explorer that did the same thing and what I had to do is change the radius arm bushings as well as ball joints and tie rod ends - this seemed to fix it, however yours may be a little different but that is where I would start
