NV 4 to 5 lug swap

Ok I want to do a 4-5 lug swap on my FC. I know on nissans i just had to get the whole hub for the front and rears and do a one for one swap. Is it the same for a FC? Please advise. Thanks.

You need to get the rear spindle/hub assembly with the brakes.
The assembly comes off with 3 bolts.the Worst one being the TOE Bolt which is a 21 MM Bolt from HELL.
If you take it off without ripping the Rubber Bushing out of it,Consider yourself VERY Lucky.Most People just say "screw it" and when they Rip the bushing all to Rat-**** ,they get a set of DTSS eliminator Bushings at www.Mazdatrix.com .
Keep that Web address.You will use it Often If you need stuff for your FC.
