It would help to know why you want to replace your hub. I've done a fair amount of that kind of work because I enjoy doing wheel work (Mrs. Grouch calls it knitting for men.). Usually it's the spokes or rim that need replacing first so you don't hear too much about replacing hubs unless there's some other reason.

Most Shimano hubs have dimensions that are so close to the same that they would plug back in PROVIDED the spokes are reusable. I agree with the poster who said that's a less than 50% likelihood.
