G35 Rear Knuckle - Wheel Bearing and Bushings - Part 1

Today I started to work on the rear knuckles. I purchased SPL monoball spherical bushings to replace all 4 bushings on the rear knuckles. They are supposed to make the car much tighter in the rear. Since I am working on the rear, I decided to replace the rear wheel bushings as well.

Here you can see one of the old bushings I pressed out of the rear knuckle. Next to it is the new SPL monoball bearing. It is aluminum. 3 out of the 4 bushings are not very difficult to replace, but one bushing is very difficult to remove!


This is the new wheel bearing pressed on the old wheel hub.
