Angry Wheel hubs suck

My wheel bearings blew out due to the passenger side crappy hub, now I have to spend way too much money on a new hub. The nice thing is that they are near impossible to find, the dealership wants near 1200 dollars for one. I am settling with Mazdatrix. Sorry, just needed to rant. **** wheel hubs.

I make weld in disks to remove the inner race from the hub. Mazdatrix sells the bearings and they are easy to replace. PM me.

You could've bought a pair of the Strengthened SuperNow hubs for that much. I even know a place who's trying to sell a pair for only $375.
