Rear hubs from 300zx NA (turbo one's are different)

Or s14 SE.

Front spindles from s14 SE.

200-350 dollars from car-parts.com.

Pretty labor intesive. Seperating rear hub from spindle is the hardest part. Everything is bolt in bolt out.

JDM S15 psi · 02-04-2003, 12:49 PM

oh so all i have to do is get the rear pressed out and the new one pressed in ??? doesnt seem too complicated ... i have a friend that can get it pressed for me for free

thanks for the help!

You don't need to get the rear hubs pressed out, they can be hammered out if you have the right tools. And you DON'T NEED front SPINDLES, simply the hubs will swap from an S14 SE into your base (I've done it, as you can see, my sig shows five lugs). Getting spindles is a waste of money. Doing the whole swap is easy (fronts take NO time at all). The rears, like I said, are kind of a bitch. If you take all the links off the rear spindle, and get it down to just the bottom is still holding it on, you can rock it forward and beat the old hub out. You can do that or just take the whole spindle off and do it that way if it won't come out easily.

So how did you seperate the front hubs from the spindle? How did you put the 5 lug back on?

Most junk yards will only sell you the spindle. Did you buy all your parts new?

It shouldn't be that difficult since you already have an S14.

It took me 3 hours to do my swap on my S13, actually 2hrs since I had to get S14 ball joints pressed in to the S13 LCA.

Like foxcolt said when you buy the hubs from a junkyard they usually leave them on the spindle and uprights, so it should be an bolt on affair. The only thing I had a problem with was popping loose from the front spindle.

To seperate the front hub from the spindle you simply take off the rotor, take off the lock nut that holds the hub on, and the spindle slides right off like butter. Mine were easy as hell to get off, no challenge whatsoever. I got the pair of front hubs for like $80 from a junkyard I found online. A lot of junkyards will seperate the hub for you if it's all you need. If you do it this way, tell them to make sure the wheel bearing is still smooth and functional.
