It has nothing to do with the grease, nothing at all. Yes greasing is apart of the process but it is a SMALL part of it. You need a properaxle nut from Kawasaki and you need to get rid of that stupid cheap crap bottle cap retainer that you slip the cotter pin through.

I swear. Nissan needs to grow a pair. CSC, clicks, engine cooling etc. If the new Z has small issues like this I doubt Nissan will fix them if they could not do it for this Z for the past 10 years. If that's the case I rather pull the trigger on a new Supra. Oh who am I kidding. . . I'd grab the new Z anyways and continue to bitch about it on this forum with you lot

I seriously doubt it. My 350 did it, my 370 did it. I was told that Xterras and others did it.
Of course I was told by the dealer that he’s never heard of it happening in 370s.
THAT’s BECAUSE THOSE OF US WITH Zs KNOW NISSAN ISN’T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, SO WE JUST FIX IT OURSELVES.

Yeap - Mine has been doing it for years!!

I think my only last items needed are grease + a large enough socket...

Any suggestions?

I'm leaning on:

Permatex 80078 1/2 Pint Anti-Seize Lubricant

Socket - Can I roll with a 1 1/4" or 32mm??? (I ask as the popular video mentions 1 1/4") - I'm thinking longer socket to give plenty of room...

or am I just an idiot and 1 1/4" is exactly 32mm?
