S14 4 lug to 5 lug issue

So today I started my 5 lug swap. My 5 lug parts were purchased from a wrecked s14 and everything was unbolted from the knuckle so it came off in one solid piece. I finished the passenger side without any problems. When I started to take apart the driver 5 lug to get the hub, the bearing came out in pieces, so I thought no problem, I can get a new bearing pressed in. Well now I see these hubs have the bearing built into them and I can't figure out what hubs they are. uploadfromtaptalk1370553237506.jpg

Are these stock se hubs or are they aftermarket. All of the after market hubs on frsport and enjuku say you have to provide your own bearing which would be impossible with these since they are built in. Any help is appreciated.

The ones you pulled are stock.

No, you cannot replace the bearings for S14 hubs. You may have been looking at rear hubs with no bearings. Enjuku and FRSport sells Ichiba hubs which are conversion hubs, which S14's don't need when going 5 lug.

But you're in luck, FRSport sells OEM hubs. They come with bearings.

The ones you pulled are the SAME.

Is it okay? I'm on the side that says no. Will your wheels still roll? Sure.

How much time do you have until the bad one gives out? Who knows. I know you're too cheap to think about that.

I'm not too cheap, just the money could be put toward other things... I'll price them out. Thanks guys
