Front wheel bearing replacement
This is for a 4WD models. so V35 sedans.
As the schematics show, the hub and bearing are seperate.
The part number for the bearing is 40210-AL800
the hub part number is 40202-24U00
Hope this helps in anyway.

^^Before you go all commando on someone make sure YOU have your facts straight. You can purchase the bearing and hub separately from any Infiniti or Nissan dealer. Now, I would recommend replacing both at the same time, but that doesn't change the fact they are available separately.
Remember the saying, People in glass houses......................
Example of a bearing sold separately: http://www.ebay.com/itm/40210-2Y000-...#ht_500wt_1362
And the hub by itself so there are no questions here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/40202-24U00-...#ht_500wt_1362

Hopefully this may help to clear any confusion regarding the hub/bearing.
This is for a 2WD models. so all V35 coupes and sedans.
As the schematics show, the hub and bearing are one unit.
The part number for the unit is 40202-AL56C

well I might be wrong.

Based on this picture it seems that front bearing is permanently pressed in on to the hub and cannot be replaced by it self. Pay attention to a groove on top. That's a groove on a hub and it looks like it's there to prevent bearing from sliding off from the hub. This is not necessary on a rear bearing because there is a half shaft that's going through the entire hub assy and it secures by a nut on the stud side of the hub as a result holding hub onto a bearing preventing it from possibly sliding off. In a RWD option, since there is no shaft to go though the hub, bearing must be permanently secured on a hub.
Maybe not, hard to tell base on a picture and without looking at the actual part.
The fact still remains that nobody selling just a bearing it self for a RWD coupes and sedans.

OK from what I can tell the parts used to be offered separately for a non-X vehicle. Here's an example of that: https://g35driver.com/forums/2575422-post1.html
However it seems now that the front assembly is only offered as one piece while the rear bearing and hub can still be purchased separately as confirmed by Phil@Grubbs here: https://g35driver.com/forums/6279826-post41.html
I guess we are all right.

Second link Phill tells you that only AWD vehicles have an option to replace just a bearing on the front, but not RWD vehicles.
So looks like even back in the day it was a same story. RWD coupes and sedans have to replace front bearing and hub all together, bearing is not sold separately and cannot be removed from the hub to be replaced.
I would imagine that if it was possible to press in new bearings somebody here would have done so already. I think Ill swap out the damaged side with a oem assembly then check if theres a part number on the old bearing unit and cross reference it. Most mechanics i work with tell me that any bearing unit can be replaced with the right tools it u have the part number for the actual bearing. Ill give it a go and post back on the results. Id imagine a bearing alone would be about $50 to $75 vs a hub assembly at $150. Thank u to all who replied here so far. U guys are great.
In a few weeks Im going to replace my bad bearing. After i remove the old hub im going to see if i can find a part number on the bad bearing and cross reference it with bearing suppliers to see if anything comes up. After that Ill see if a machine shop can take apart the hub and remove the old bearing. If a replacement bearing is available from a supplier then Ill order one and see if it can be pressed in and the hub reassembled and report back to u guys.
Or if anybody has a hub laying around already take a look to see if u can find a pn on the bearing and post it up here.
