I've searched on the forums and in my shop manual and understand the basics of the job. Seems easy.

I will be doing both sides at the same time. I've read that this can cause problems, that I shouldn't have both axles out at the same time. Can anyone confirm this? I've got a 1999 sentra automatic 1.6. I was under the impression that to get the drivers side out, i had to take the passenger side off and push the drivers side out through the transmission. Any experience with this?

So here's what I think I'm going to do:

remove wheel, strut (what is a strut?) and brakes
remove 32mm nut
pry axle from transmission

It really sounds almost too easy, but I've learned that Nissans are pretty easy to work on.

Also, I replaced my pads a few months ago and not my rotors despite some minor grooves. If I replaced my rotors but not the pads this time, would that cause issues?

thanks alot.
