them are expensive bastards, ain't they?

Check with Contemporary Corvette for pricing. I got lucky and snagged some from Advance Autoparts for a song...

They are NOT rebuildable.

There is a way of modifying Firebird/Camaro hubs, but I don't remember the details.

You can also check madvet.com. They may not be any cheaper.

94 Firebird. Drill out the threads and bolt it up.

You should be able to get it at AutoZone cheaper, my last one cost $230 I think.

They are sealed, so they arent rebuildable.
