DIY- LX 5 Lug and Rear Disc Swap

Nissan2anAccord said:

i dont remembering some of the finer details but after looking back i see that the conversion will be even cheaper for me, causemy biggest questions was if all i had to do was replace the hubs... now what gets me is why other models besides the EX will have to replace the knuckle and spindle??? is that just to simplify the change over or is there a method in that madness?

but EX model just needs
-Hubs
-Front Calipers (off V6 model, Legend, or Teg, Type-R)
-Rotors and Pads?

correct me if im wrong?

the only reason anyone would have to replace spindles is if they have rear drums. at the bare minimum youd need only the rear spindles. but keep in mind the front hubs have to be pressed out, iirc, so unless you have a press, you have to take them to a shop...or something haha.

i chose to buy all 4 spindles, 1. because i have rear drums, and 2. because it will make it easier to rebuild them all to new/fresh while still using my accord for its daily duties...if i ever get the motivation back to do the swap haha.

but yes, if youre 4 lug and have rear disc's from the factory, all you need is the four hubs, four rotors, and front calipers and pads. the rear calipers, pads, and ebrake cables are the same between ex i4's and v6's. the only reason to change ebrake cables is only if you have rear drums.​

#4 is the wheel bearing only.​
