Rear Wheel Bearing WTF?

The passenger's side rear wheel bearing is starting to get noisy, so I go to the parts store to get a new one... but they don't even have a listing!

I looked online at parts store, and they only offer the bearing/hub assembly for around $110.

What's up with this? Can you not just buy and install the bearing? Heck, I've got a shop press?

Thanks!

I have searched for the bearings as well. No luck, only available new by purchasing the hub assembly. Aftermarket is the same deal.

Buy some good low mileage used ones from a salvage yard. I did, and they worked great. They are easy enough to install to gamble on used ones.

Question: Does the bearing/hub assembly you are talking about come with the bearing already pressed in?

Midway Nissan (midwaynissan.com) lists them at $85.29 w/o ABS and $86.08 W ABS. Not bad when you consider the front bearings are around $30 + $10 each for the seals and then you have to press the old ones out and the new in...

Speaking of which how often should you have your bearings packed?

They are lifetime lubricated, but non serviceable.

Probably why they go out so often.
