Default how to press out bearings

i need the answer pretty quick but g35driver isn't providing me an answer yet. most likely i'll be buying a harbor freight 6 ton H frame shop press tomorrow.
But i don't quiet know how to press out the rear bearings from the hub assembly. (i've seen pressing out once but i forgot..) i looked at rear bearings and hub assembly but can't figure out a way to press out the bearings. Help please.

Big hydraulic press is the only way I know of. You can probably save yourself some cash and take it to a shop and pay them to press it.

Big hydraulic press as in stronger press or bigger press in size?
To me, 6 ton hydraulic press is strong and big enough to press out the bearings, but my question is, how to i press out the bearings. How do i place the hub aseembly on the arbor plate and where do i need to press out..

I haven't tried one of the Z's bearings (took it to somebody) but the "normal" way of doing it involves supporting the bearing/hub while pressing out the spindle.

Attached is the FSM instructions.

Go to a local shop with your hub/bearing, pay them and ask if you can watch. You will need a few more tools/adapters along with the press to get the job done.

^^^ Exactly. The guy who did mine took 1/2hr just because he had to rig up some way to support it properly on his press.

I watched a local guy doing it. iirc he only used 2 base arbor plates and a cylinder arbor.
I did some research on pressing bearings and seemed like most them use sockets instead of cylinder shaped arbor

edit: I think get the idea of pressing it out. I'll try first then see what happens

so, i went to HF and bought a 12 ton shop press for $110 with tax. I pressed out the bearings from the hub. The race race has a micro dent but seems to be fine lol
Now i just hope the local stealership honor warranty and give me a replacement. (Bearings were making noise after a few miles.)
Hey guys, i inspected the notches inside of the hub and noticed there were quite a bit of very small metal shavings, but the notches dont look shaved.... just get a bearing replacement or do i need a new hub?

Nissan doesn't offer a warranty to "do it yourselfers" - they have to diagnose the problem, remove the part and install the new one.

+1, how would they know you didn't damage it during removal? If I were the OP I'd make sure to bring along $100 to the dealership in order to purchase a new inner bearing.
