wheel hub different?

Im back guys about to get the max back on the road but ran into a problem with the wheel hub I had my guy go out and get a wheel hub he said it was off a car that was just like mine but it doesn't fit my car. I need to know if these things are different.
Does the GXE had a different wheel hub set up from the SE? or could it be that he got the parts off of a DOHC and not a SOHC?

When I was looking for aftermarket wheel hub assemblies, I could only find the 4 lug version. Are you sure the one he got was 5 lug?

DOHC and SOHC axles use different splines. What exactly is not fitting?

the hub inner bore/spline depends on the engine you have. VG (89-91 all, and 92-94 GXE) had smaller bore/spline than the VE (92-94 SE). all USDM are 5 lug.

What he said. Ran into that myself about 10 years ago and had to pay a mechanic to press the bearing and spindle together twice because I made that mistake too.

Just about any shop should have a hydraulic press. I paid $20 each to have them pressed in. (then I bought a press for about $100 and it's paid for itself many times over since then.)
