All the parts needed for the swap. Manual hubs from an '86-'88 Mazda B2600 and all the wheel bearing hardware. Missing a few factory bolts, but that's easy to solve.

Cut the dowels off the backs of each hub, flush it up without gouging the hub body too bad. I got in a bit of a hurry here, but billet steel hub bodies don't flex, and you need to use a bit of RTV here anyway. Mazda hubs lack the o-ring that Kia hubs use.

Bam! Installed... 8x70 Grade 12.9 socket head cap screws with a flat washer under the head of each (will be adding a split washer as the stock Mazda setup uses). Warn hubs-almost $300, and garbage. Cast aluminum bodies and garbage hardware. Aisin-billet steel bodies, aluminum faces, giant hub gears, and pretty much bombproof. These hubs came off a severely abused Mazda and showed next to no wear on the internals. Grease 'em and go. That I know of, I am the only one to find this combination, and it doesn't surprise me. Takes a guy that has owned both to know that a Sportage and the Mazda trucks are distant cousins at the most.
