Hey, i recently did a 5 lug swap and need a new rear wheel bearing. the one from the junkyard was bad. anyway, i went to order one from autozone and they have one for 110.00 bucks. the problem is that the guy cannot tell if its a 5 lug or a 4 lug with the hub bearing. i was wondering if i could just take off the bearing from my 4 lug hub and reinstall it on the junkyard 5 lug hub? or can i order this one and is it the right one? anyone have any ideas?

no, separating hub from bearing will destroy bearing. Look at your timken dealer in town. Mine was 85 and 27 to get it pressed in. I'm sure you can get the pressing cheaper, but mine was sand blasted as well. The timken bearing is #512014. This is the same bearing for s13,s14, and z32. It's only the bearing, and you have to get the hub pressed in. Napa had it for 130, but i think that was only bearing too. http://www.timken.com may help you locate a dealer, or do what i did, and look in the yellow pages under "bearings". Timken is the best, so don't go w/anything else (unless OEM).
