I just bought a 82 280zx turbo from a kid who hasn't taken very good care of the car. The car has been sitting for at least 1 and 6 months or so , I think the wheel bearings might be bad on it because the only way to move the car is buy using brute force on it(pushing or pulling it with another car). The car will not move if you try to push it. I am just wondering if anyone can tell me how I can go about getting the wheel bearings out and putting new ones in for both the front and rear.

before you start taking off the wheels.. you might wanna see if the brake calipers arent frozen.. id jack the car up and see which wheels arent turning... front should turn freely.. the rear if its not in gear and if the parking break isnt engagued should turn as well... id inspect the braks first...

The parking brake spring on my 83 hangs up all the time. I need a new spring for mine.

The guys are pointing you in the right direction! Iv'e never run into a frozen wheel bearing on a Z, but rusted brake parts are another animal altogether,and are usually the culprit in the scenario you describe. Good Luck.

my ebrake cable also sticks on one wheel. Definately would look at other sources first. Eliminate all other possibilities.
