Broken wheel bearings

[Jaysblacktalon]

Well today my wheel bearing just went out and started making a very bad noise metal scraping the worst sound ever to heard, anyways i ordered a pair of wheel bearings inner and outer for the fronts, just wanted to know if it is recommended to change the front hubs aswell???? please respond asap thanks!

If you have the money and are going to be ripping apart your wheel assy. you might as well

I would. In fact, I'm in need to within the month.

I'd just go to a junkyard and pull the whole hub and upright assembly from a NT. The 1G front wheel hubs are strong, and a NT car doesn't strain them as bad since they're lighter and less powerfull. You can even grab the hub from a 1.8 NT, those cars are really light and underpowered, the hub and bearings will probably look like new. All 1G's use the same bearings. There's 2 different hubs- with ABS or without ABS, the ABS hub has a couple of threaded holes to attach ABS hardware, so ABS hubs will work on a non-ABS car, but not the other way around.
HTH and GL.

Finally have the two front wheel hub assembley, now a new problem has came up and is wondering if anybody has any solutions in getting my rotor of the wheel hub.

Sure!
It's kinda easy. Look for 2 empty threaded holes in the rotor between the studs. Get 2 bolts from somewhere and thread them into the holes evenly, that'll press the rotor off the hub. The 2 bolts should have 12mm heads, like the one holding the power steering hose to the drivers side motor mount, or the bolts holding the upper radiator mounting brackets.
