does anyone know the size of the snap ring in the free running hub on a 2002 nissan frontier crew cab? im replacing my rotors, and i need to remove the hubs, and it was recommended i replace the snap ring when i reassemble everything. i would dissasemble the hubs and size match it, but i want to have them on hand before i start to take it apart. also if anyone has any helpful information regarding preparation and required specialized tools i might need or recommended lubricants as far as inside the hub, and on the rotor itself, or anything else about general rotor replacement, it would be much appreciated.

Adjust wheel bearing preload as follows:
Before adjustment, thoroughly clean all parts to prevent
dirt entry.

Apply multi-purpose grease sparingly to the following
parts:
Threaded portion of spindle
Contact surface between wheel bearing washer and outer
wheel bearing
Grease seal lip
- Wheel hub (as
shown)................................18 - 23 grams (0.63
- 0.81 ounces)

Tighten wheel bearing lock nut with
Tool.....................78 - 98 Nm (8 -10 kg.m, 58 - 72
ft. lbs.)
Turn wheel hub several times in both directions.
Loosen wheel bearing lock nut so that torque
becomes......................0 Nm (0 kg.m, 0 ft. lbs.).
Retighten wheel bearing lock nut with
Tool............................0.5 - 1.5 Nm (0.05 - 0.15
kg.m, 4.3 - 13.0 inch lbs.)

Measure starting force "A" at wheel hub bolt.

Install lock washer by tightening the lock nut within 15
to 30 degrees to align screw holes.
Turn wheel hub several times in both directions to seat
wheel bearing correctly.
Measure starting force "B" at wheel hub bolt. Refer to
step 10.

The tool needed is a Kent-Moore J36001 to remove and

similar tool from AUTO ZONE. The snap ring is a selective
fit(thickness) using the old ones over is perfectly
acceptable.
