Helpppppp!!!. No, I don't need help getting out of this mental institution. I already found a way out through the back door. Ok, it's a mouse hole, but I just manage to fit...
What I really need info on is the removal and install of rear bearings. I have them in my hands, but need to know whether they are press on/off or do they just slide off when I unbolt them? Knowing this, will help me to decide where I go with my NX to do this work and how long it will be down. These are desperate times, and I need wise words. :)

YELLO im a nissan tech and when i order rear bearings from nissan they come with the bearing and hub one peice ???? if you have an gaftermarket bearing sorry i cant help but anyways if the hub is on it you just have to unbolt the rear hub and slide the assy off the spindle hope this helps

Thanks a million bloke. I only buy factory bearings and these have the hub already pressed in. Win win!!! So now I just need to get these bleedin bolts off. I'll pop off to the local shop to use the impact wrench for removal "only". Do you think I should stuff a little more grease in them before I put the dust cap back on? Again, thanks bloke. I can now sleep tonight. :) Another battle won thanks to helpful people.
