Do you have any tips for the rears? I already did my fronts, and I am going to do my rears this week. I know that the rear hub bolts will spin with the wheel unlike the fronts, so I need to figure out how to lock the rear axles up.

statik that is great man. good pictures, very informative, and conscise. thank you very much for the writeup. I feel confident I can do the swap myself now, but I will need more than 10 hours since i'm doing it myself. prob one weekend fronts, and the next weekend rears.:)

im glad it helped, i wish we got more pics to make it a bit more step by step but maybe next big install heh. I think you can do the fronts in literally 2 hours, the fronts just need a hub puller or a little force but then its slide off, slide on. That was the easier part of it. The hardest part believe it or not were the stock rear calipers, just a PITA to put back together, and I dont have a brake tool so I used needle nose pliers. I think you can do the whole thing one weekend by yourself. First day you can probably do the 2 fronts and maybe get start on one of the rears, if anything u spend a few hours friday night to start it, but by urself u can do it in one weekend i think.

you didn't take the rear brakes apart did you?

you should seriously be able to do this in about 4 hours by yourself.

um yeah I changed my pads so I would haveto take the caliper off of the caliper bracket.
2 days yes because we started at 6 and stopped at 2:30 and finished the next morning, it took ~10 hours because we didnt have all the parts/tools and had to run back and forth, its not like we worked on the car for 10 hours straight

I know z32 rear hubs work for s13s,
But would s14 rear hubs work on an s13 using s13 bearings.
