I'm not sure if FWD and RWD are different but there was no way for me to change out mine . I had to bring it to a shop. It was harder than a clutch/flywheel install.

I want to change mine out as well so i don't have to later. Is the nissan dealer the only place wehre you can get new ones?

Yea it looks like it might suck but just trying to see what is involved. Looks like I would need to buy new tools so juts checking out my options. 400.00 sucks tho, too much money.

Dont forget to pack it before you put it on. Over all wheel bearings are fairly simple.

Its a matter of getting parts

I can do the work no problem, all I have to do now is obtain a bearing and get the old one off and the new one on.

The HUB and bearing are 2 different parts. The HUB is like 137 new and the bearing is 57. You have to press the bearing out so you can press the new one back on.
