i bought the front s14 5 lug spindle and what i thought at the time was the rear spindl from an s14. turns out that the idiot sold me the rears from a z32. now im assuming i can just get a hub puller and take the hubs out the front spindle, but what about the rears? how can i get those hubs of if possible.

19mm x4 , not 17mm.

No hub puller needed for the front.

Welcome to Earth, where we talk about this same shit every day for the past seventeen years.

Rear toe link mounting point:

bushing = NA
ball joint = TT

All TTs have HICAS, so there's a balljoint and tie rod in place of the toe rod.

That's an S14, apparently from the bottom of the ocean.

The Z32 upright is aluminum and has a fork style lower shock mount.

Actually I was wrong, the picture is pretty dim, hard to make out the back of the hub, and I was drunk.
There are no bolts holding the bearing assembly on, so those are J30 uprights. The J30 bearing presses into the upright instead of bolting on like the S13/14 Z32, etc. The ebrake assemblies are similiar and can be used.

And rent a sandblaster, you're going to need it.

No, where did you read that?

They're the exact same as the S14 parts, but the bearing is pressed into the upright instead of bolting on.

EXACT SAME

If you research a little you'll see we just fought about this with some other kid and brought up links a few days ago.
