First, let me recommend using a spelling checker, and a little manual by Strunk and White on Grammar. Punctuation, good grammar and correct spelling all help the comprehension of those that are reading what you are trying to communicate.

Don't know why you think your boss is an Infiniti expert, but the crew at http://www.infinitipartsusa.com is.

You arent supposed to press in new bearings, your supposed to replace the bearing and hub together... Thats how joe at infiniti of scottsdale sells them, and thats hte only way Id go.

Thank you Brian for the warm welcome.......

Wes, are the Q hubs the same as Z32 hubs? If so, I have a brand new one here...

[elwesso]

I will check later, but im sure the twin turbo ones are.... N/A uses smaller ones in the rear not sure about the fronts... TT rear hubs are the same as Q...

[AZhitman]

This one is Nissan P/N 40202-33P01, retails for $176.

[AZhitman]

[elwesso]

Why?

Is there a particular reason for this or................?

Well my rear passenger wheel bearing has been bad for a long time, and I knew it was expensive, so I figured I would bite the bullet and replace it.

I talked to my boss about it and he found one for $129, I figured this is pretty good so I got it, I took my rear apart and got the hub out and pressed out the wheel bearing.

I'm just about to install the bearing into the hub, when disaster struck, I noticed that something wasn't quite right.

I took a few measurements, found out that my new bearings inner race is about 20 thousandths too small, so my hub won't press in.

I got pissed and put together my old bearing and all that.

I talked to my boss, he tries to find out whats going on. He got me another bearing from another place, same thing, too damn small.

Nissan down the street from me wants $240 for the bearing.

I found out that the other new bearings I was getting was the right number, but actualy fit a nissan 300z.

Talk about agrivating, but right now I'm driving on a bad wheel bearing and I need some advice on what I should do. Anyone else have/had a problem like this?
