Can I see a diagram for front passenger hub & bearinn on '97 Altima GXE (no ABS) I already replaced CV half-shaft a few weeks ago ---- now garage is saying bearing is shot, and had ruined part of hub it sits in

they get noisier and can spin on the half shaft seizing it to it causing more expense. it can also seize in the spindle hub causing damage.

probably a bad passenger CV joint on the axle. You can purchase a completely rebuilt half shaft cheaper than you can replace one CV joint.

Rather than just the bearing, I suggest a new half shaft as the bearings and ABS tone wheel are already assembled. These Escapes are notorious for cracking the tone wheel setting off a code and then disabling the AWD system. So for a very few dollars more than it would take to disassemble the shaft , install bearings and tone wheel just get a new one.

You have worn front end parts or the tires have a separated cord in them.

I would have the cv axle changed along with any integral parts such as the abs ring.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the wheel cover/hub cover from the wheel and tire assembly, then loosen the lug nuts. Fig. 1: After removing the wheel/hub cover, loosen the lug nuts
   
   
3. Raise and safely support the vehicle, then remove the wheel and tire assembly. Insert a steel rod in the rotor to prevent it from turning, then remove the hub nut and washer. Discard the old hub nut. Fig. 2: Before removing the hub nut and washer, insert a steel rod in the rotor to prevent it from turning
   Fig. 3: Remove the hub nut and washer, then discard the nut, and replace with a new one during installation
   
   
4. Remove the nut from the ball joint to steering knuckle attaching bolts.
5. Drive the bolt out of the steering knuckle using a punch and hammer. Discard this bolt and nut after removal. Fig. 4: Drive the bolt out of the front wheel knuckle using a punch and hammer, then discard the nut and bolt and replace with new ones during installation
   
   
6. If equipped with anti-lock brakes, remove the anti-lock brake sensor and position it aside. If equipped with air suspension, remove the height sensor bracket retaining bolt and wire sensor bracket to inner fender. Position the sensor link aside. Fig. 5: If so equipped, remove the anti-lock brake sensor and position it aside
   
   
7. Separate the ball joint from the steering knuckle using a suitable prybar. Position the end of the prybar outside of the bushing pocket to avoid damage to the bushing. Use care to prevent damage to the ball joint boot. Remove the stabilizer bar link at the stabilizer bar. Fig. 6: When separating the ball joint from the steering knuckle, be careful not to damage to ball joint boot
   
   1. Slide the link shaft out of the transaxle. Support the end of the shaft by suspending it from a convenient underbody component with a piece of wire. Do not allow the shaft to hang unsupported, damage to the outboard CV-joint may occur.
   2. Separate the outboard CV-joint from the hub using front hub remover tool T81P-1104-C or equivalent and metric adapter tools T83P-1104-BH, T86P-1104-Al and T81P-1104-A or equivalent. NOTE: Never use a hammer to separate the outboard CV-joint stub shaft from the hub. Damage to the CV-joint threads and internal components may result. The halfshaft assembly is removed as a complete unit.
      
   3. Install the CV-joint puller tool T86P-3514-A1 or equivalent, between CV-joint and transaxle case. Turn the steering hub and/or wire strut assembly aside.
   4. Screw extension tool T86P-3514-A2 or equivalent, into the CV-joint puller and hand tighten. Screw an impact slide hammer onto the extension and remove the CV-joint.
   5. Support the end of the shaft by suspending it from a convenient underbody component with a piece of wire. Do not allow the shaft to hang unsupported, damage to the outboard CV-joint may occur.
   6. Separate the outboard CV-joint from the hub using front hub remover tool T81P-1104-C or equivalent and metric adapter tools T83P-1104-BH, T86P-1104-Al and T81P-1104-A or equivalent.
   7. Remove the halfshaft assembly from the vehicle. Fig. 7: These tools are necessary for halfshaft removal
      Fig. 8: Installing the specified tools to remove the halfshaft assembly from the vehicle
      Fig. 9: Support the end of the shaft by suspending it from a convenient underbody component with a piece of wire. Do not allow the shaft to hang unsupported, since damage to the outboard CV-joint may occur
      Fig. 10: Separate the outboard CV-joint from the hub using front hub remover tool T81P-1104-C or equivalent, and metric adapter tools T83P-1104-BH, T86P-1104-Al and T81P-1104-A or equivalent, then remove the halfshaft assembly from the vehicle

possibly the wires are loose or shot mayb try and replacing them

there are tow types, with ABS and W/O ABS, they come as a half shaft assmebly, this is a axle and CV joint together. here are the 2 part numbers for left and right axle with CV joint. Price and Part s are from www.rockauto.com, the lowest price on the internet I could find, very fast shipping.

i have found that you need to first make sure the cv shaft is moving free in the bearing. soak everything with penitrating oil. you should be able to move shaft in & out a little. the hub is a very tight fit. you need to tap it some from side to side untill you see a little gap between hub and spindel. then place the head of a flat screw driver in that gap and all around the hub, prying back and forth where ever possible. soak, tap and pry all over. be hard on it if replacing, more gentle if not. good luck.

You can do it yourself just take your time:
To change front wheel bearing.
1. Jack car up support with jack stands
2. take tire off
3. take caliper and brakes off
4. take rotor off
5. unbolt axle shaft nut at bearing hub
6. use a 3 lb slug with a block of wood
7. place wood on axle shaft and knock it in
8. back side 3 10mm bolts unbolt
9. front side have to pry off bearing hub Assembly only beacuse has dirt in knuckle hole.
10. clean hub knuckle and reinstall.
Its really not that hard or you could have them done for $900 and up. (I have changed alot of wheel bearing assemblies )Whats your e-mail I can send you a diagram if you want.
