Press wheel bearing onto hub to form an assembly?

[Big Dan]

Alright, so, I goofed up and didnt read the part numbers correctly.  

 

I ordered two NOS MOPAR 53000234 for a Dana 30.  I had believed this to be the complete wheel hub bearing assembly.  After further research, this is just the hub, with studs.  There is no unit bearing attached.

 

Is it even possible to get a unit bearing, without a hub, and press it in?  I havent been able to find one.

 

If not, why was the hub, only, available as a separate part?

You can put new bearings in them.  It's not really done because it's not considered to be economical.

 

Edit.  Yeah, you need more parts than the bearings I'm guessing.

I'm sure it's not economical..I was only considering it, due to my current situation. However, I can't find a part that is only a unit bearing (no hub attached).

If that is, indeed, not available, I'll return the hubs.

There's the outer housing, inner hub, and two bearings, plus a seal in some years.  It's a few different parts and I believe you only have the inner hub part of it.  I've never rebuilt them because you can buy a brand new Timken assembly for $65, when to buy the bearings and races alone from Timken it will cost you $50.

Sounds like a return it is. Thanks.
