How to replace a rear wheel bearing on a Nissan Note MK1

Model: Nissan Note E11, MK 1 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Bearing

Let's see how to replace the rear wheel bearing of a Nissan Note MK1: the diagnosis arises from the fact that the owner of the car complains of a noise coming from the rear wheel, so the car is lifted and placed on a jack stand, then the wheel is grabbed, shaken to check for any play, and manually rotated to listen to the typical noise of a worn bearing. By comparing the noise from both sides, the faulty one is isolated. In this model of Nissan Note, there is a brake drum that incorporates the bearing. Some equipment is needed to do this job, such as an "H" clamp that can be easily found on Amazon with the code B0CRHMMQ87 at a price of 11.82 euros with free delivery in 1 day for Prime customers; we remove the 36mm nut from the center of the wheel drum and remove the drum, which can sometimes be stuck; we free it with a few taps; we remove the safety ring with pliers, push out the old bearing from the drum using the clamp. We clean the seat inside the drum, where the new bearing will go, apply WD-40 to the seat to facilitate the insertion of the new bearing, and insert it gently to avoid damaging it. We clean the surface of the drum brakes inside, reassemble the drum on the axle, install a new 36mm nut, reattach the wheel, and lower the car.
