yesterday i got my new wheel bearing for my s14 4 lug. i took off the hub with the bearing but half of the bearing decided to stay stuck to the knuckle so i took it off and took both the hub and the knuckle to a machine shop. the guy had no prob taking off the piece stuck to the knuckle but said that no matter what he did he couldnt take out the wheel bearing of the hub?

should i take it to another machine shop? im in south miami in bird road. or does anyone have a 4 lug hub that their willing to sell to me, or know where i can get one? i kinda need it today lmk thanks every1
 
Yeah sometimes they get almost welded onto the other piece, but it only happens if you've been driving with a bad bearing for a long time. It happened one time on my integra i had to buy another spindle with hub from the junkyard.

Yes it is suppose to be smooth. Lack of grease & excessive heat(from bad bearing) cause them to discolor and rust.

Which side do you need?
