I have searched but couldnt find my answer and I even checked s14 service manual but it doesnt really go into much detail on the following subject.

1995 240sx LE with 5 lug hubs

I installed rear z32 ebrake assemblies on my s14 but on one side, when trying to get the hub off the knuckle i pulled the hub out of the bearing a little (around 3mm). Now the hub has a bit of a wiggle in it. Can I press it back in or do I need a whole new hub bearing assembly? If I can, how do I go about doing it? I dont wanna screw it up even more.

hope someone can give me some insight on this

thank you

youll need a hydraulic press, what I would do is take it to a shop (most shops have hydraulic presses) and ask them to try and press it back in.. If it doesnt work, then youll have to buy a new one. Good news is they dont fail too often in nissans, so youd be pretty safe IMO with a used one.
