Hub/bearing/spindle problem.

My front right wheel feels like it's going to fall off when going on dirt roads, and/or small bumps. I jacked it up and thought maybe wiggling the wheel to see if there was any play, as if I needed to replace the wheel bearings, but that wasn't the case, it felt nice and tight. So I took apart the front wheel hub and found out the 2 races that hold the bearings together are all worn out. So I need the all the rings/races that attach to the hub and around the cv shaft end, so does anyone have a picture of the factory service manual with the exploded version of the right front wheel hub/spindle/bearings assembly so that I know what to buy?? Also any help, input, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks

Yeah, I've been to motorvate. I just need to see the exploded version of it, like in the FSM, because I need to know what parts to buy from Nissan.

I looked in my FSM last night and didn't see an exploded view of the bearings. I'll check again when I get home tonight.

I went to Nissan Saturday and ordered a spindle, but when he was showing me the parts, he showed me the exploded version of it on the computer, so I ordered the spindle, but now I don't think I need it, all I need are the guts of the spindle.
