Thread: Old Nissan Safari query

Well, that escalated quickly.
The inboard bearings inner race had heat welded itself to that stub axle housing.
With a good weld bead run around the race to heat it and a lot of pressure from an hydraulic press the race was finally removed.
But no use...the stub axle is badly damaged. The oil seal area has also been ground down from the hub sitting down on it (yes...the owner had heard strange noises before and had tried to just shove in some grease without actually taking the hub apart. No such thing as a quick fix!).
It's not pretty, and probably has damaged the hub too.
So...some parts needed.
Anyone wrecking one of these, or know of a likely source of parts (1998 Nissan Safari)?
Thanks.
