G35x front wheel bearings

Very nicely done! Just want to make one suggestion. I would think the part you pulled off should be called the knuckle. Never heard it called spindle before as usually spindle refers to the axle shaft. I could be wrong, but that was causing me a lot of misunderstanding at first. But anyway, great job and this write-up will definitely come in handy.

On my old Monte, the rotor and hub were one piece with the bearings loaded inside, and they spun on the shaft. Either way, it works for me!

Aside from the Dealer...eBay.
They are sold by dealers there at cheaper prices
I just nought one of these today for my other side which I'll do next weekend now that I consider the job pretty easy

I have 127k on my g35x and I just did them today. I left the knuckle on at the top bolt, and banged bearing and hubs out with a BFH. It was so nice to ride around nice and quietly.
The job is not hard, its getting the bearing out of the steering knuckle, and manuvering that bolt by the arm off. I took my bearing and hub, which are only sold separately and not pressed for the 2005 G35x, so $28 to pep boys and they pressed them for me.
Apparently these hubs and bearing are readily available from the dealer. I paid 340 for hub and bearing here at stealership in NJ. I just wanted it done. I returned a torque wrench I rented from Pep Boys, so the job cost me parts and $28 to have them press the bearing into assembly and about 2 hours of my time. Not a hard job at all and the reward is great because now your car is quiet as it can be.
Good luck!

It looks like this ebay seller has them pressed. Yes, it's for a 2006 but wouldn't it be the same for a 2005??

Only reason i could think of is the leaking boot has compromised the shaft and needs to be replaced anyway, or they have a ton of mark-up on the shaft vs replacing the boot.
