Front/Rear wheel hubs
Going to have to replace rear wheel studs and i know i how to replace them. My question is: Are the front and rear wheel hub assemblies the same size? Reason being, i will have to replace both wheel bearings and individually replacing the wheel bearings will costly roughly $80 a piece. Well i found a parts store that sells the whole hub assembly including the wheel bearing ranging from $50-$90. But it says they are the front wheel hub assemblies. So if im going to replace the wheel bearings, why not replace the whole hub assembly for the same price. So does anybody know if the front and rear wheel hub assemblies are the same? Heres a link to the part:

The front and rear are completely different.
From Mazda the fronts come with the bearings already pressed into the hub, making for an easy install.
The rear bearings come separately and are NOT fun to do, I'd rather pull an engine than tackle those again
You'll need some massive snap ring pliers, a press, and a lot of patience
