arrghh, now i've read my fsm and it says" if the wheel hub bearing assembly is removed, it must be renewed. The old assembly must not be re-used" and hub and bearing all comes as one. $142.37 from nissan. Do I have to replace, or is this only if I destroy it? Anyone have anything to say?

if the rear end was trashed, I'd probably look into a new rear hub and bearing as it's probably got fractures/bent. It doesn't all come as one part, the bearing gets pressed into the hub. The hub is about 100 new and the bearing is about 120 new. I'd probably find some rear hubs from someone parting out or someone who's done a 5 lug swap.
