2G Wheel Bearing fun need help ASAP

[cait sith]

Alright, I've been disassembling my 2G's rear wheel assembly to get access to the wheel bearing and have come to a noteable problem.

I cannot get the wheel bearing off. I've sat with a puller and it just doesn't want to move even with over 200 lbs of pressure on it. I've unbolted everything suspension wise per manual, took out the rear axle from the diff, and still nothing. Nothing at all.

Secondly, is the actual rear hub assembly a press-fit (You know, how the part with the studs and their fitment into the wheel)? The five pages of search information have brought nothing.

I need my car for monday morning so help is needed like, yesterday. :[

You do know that the rear hub assembly bolts onto the knuckle arm with 4 bolts from the inside don't you? The assembly inself has the bearings inside and is replaced as a unit.

once all the bolts are free beat the bag out of the old hub until it comes off its just bolts up and plugs into the axle no need for pressing.

So wait...

I've got my new bearing/hub assembly (just a hub assembly) and it DOES NOT have the wheel stud assembly on it. Did I get the wrong part? It would fit up perfectly other than the wheel stud part.

definetly the wrong part i just picked up some hubs for my friends GSX front ones too and they came with the studs and everything u got the wrong part and the only place to get the hubs is the dealership.

God dammit, that's what I get for going aftermarket.

Well, I guess I'll be returning this little fellow. Should be a much easier job now, at least... :[

Thanks all the help.
