Rear Stub Axle Disassembly

[mdbrandy]

This is what I have listed for the ZX outer axle nut.

Outer axle flange nut for 24OZ-28OZ PN 43262-W12O2 (28OZX part)

I think you posted this in another thread as well (which I found), and I'm taking this number to Nissan today. I'll let you know if they can still get them!

Thanks.

The Nissan counter man here in Champaign can't find that part number in their system. Interestingly, the 43262-21000 original style axle nut appears to be available and is only $4.00 each. I also found that the spindle pin and lock bolt are actually cheaper through Nissan than through Victoria British! Go figure...

I just called Courtesy and asked for 280ZX Turbo (not sure if turbo matters) stub axle nuts. He found them just fine. It appears to be the same nut for the R200 pinion, but I'm not absolutely sure on that one...

The red stuff you see around the axle nut may be Locktite. If it's the really good stuff you may have to use some heat to break the nut loose. My impact wrench is a CP 734 and it has no problem with the axle nuts. Be ready to use a tap and die on the threads because more than likely they will get messed up. The original nuts can be reused. Just use Locktite on them upon reassembly. Good Luck.

FWIW I was able to get almost every single nut and bolt in my suspension hardware replacement kit that Chloe put together for me (including this nut). What I did was go through the microfiche and pulled out every single part I wanted to replace and assembled a very detailed list with the original part numbers, microfiche page number and item number etc. Chloe then went through and gave me all of the replacement numbers if the originals weren't available. Let me know if it would be helpful to post that list. I can probably find it on my computer at home if I didn't lose it when I got a new PC. Oops actually I just found it. I'll try to attach it. Click the tab at the bottom that lets you see the original order. Hope this helps.

Rear axle nut with self locking feature is p/n 43262-W1200. Paid $4.16 each from Midwest Z before she went out of business last year.

Recommend you use dremel to cut away the crimped part of the nut before trying to untorque. Will reduce amount of breakaway torque required and also minimize risk of damaging threads on stub axle. You will need a good 27 mm socket for the nut which was probably installed with over 200 ft-lbs of torque.

Anyone know the difference between the 2 part numbers?

Ah, I shall try that part number tomorrow. Maybe the other number just has a typo?

If I can get a replacement (which it looks like I should be able to), I will dremel the peened portion first. With everything already off the car, I can do it very carefully and hopefully not hurt the threads.

I bought a pair of #43262-W1200 nuts about 2 months ago from the local Nissan dealer. Work fine.

I just got back from the Nissan dealer. That is the right number, and I have a pair coming. Thanks to all for the info! I splurged and also bought a pair of the 43262-21000 parts for $8. I wanted to see what the differences were. I'll take a pic when I get them.
