Replacing an Accord Wheel Bearing

Ok, here it is finally. A few of you have requested this procedure so here it is. As I said in the video I normally use a different method of removing the hub from the bearing assembly by using a slide hammer. I also normally use a press to reinstall the hub into the new bearing instead of hitting it with a hammer. Life is not perfect and we sometimes have to improvise as I did here. I know a few of you will ask about the size fasteners that I used to hammer the bearing out, I used hardened (8.8) 10x1.25 bolts to do the job. I also promised links to the other videos that relate to this one so here they are.

Thanks for the video. Great job. I used this info and translated it into replacing my wheel bearing on an '03 Acura 3.2TL type-S. Very useful information. WIll be back to your channel... hopefully not too soon!

ERIC, great video!! I had my shop press in a front wheel bearing for my '97 Honda Prelude. It was a Honda OEM bearing with the black seal on one side. They installed it with the black seal on the inside towards the axle, I thought the black seal should go on the outside towards the hub. What do you think and does it matter enough that I should have them redo it? I know you said it's important for the accord in this video (not pressed in) but is it also important for the Prelude (pressed in)?

[EricTheCarGuy]

@gta14atl Honestly I don't remember but if I had it in my hand I would. I usually look at it when I take it of to check the orientation but most times I do it like in this video. There really is no way to remove it to flip it around without destroying it though.

ERIC. i have a question, on pulling cv joints. I have an attachment , like a big U that hooks to a slide hammer to make a straight pull. trouble is, my slide hammer was stolen. if I buy another to replace it, should I buy a 5 lb hammer or 7 lb hammer. I would be using it mainly to pull axles and cv joints in the future. ? any help???

[EricTheCarGuy]

@Romulan112 Good question the issue is this, the bigger the hammer the less effort required but it makes it harder to use and get into tight places, the smaller one doesn't have that problem but it will be easier to get into tight places. Get both. :)

Thanks for a great video Eric, I think my left wheel bearing is busted on the honda accord 2000 se, question, I have decided to change the hub too and have bought both the wheel bearing and hub assembly, curious to know if the above procedure is any different?

thanks

[khorijwilson]

dude, this is ridiculous....i asked for some hub bearings for Christmas since mine are screwed up.I don't have near the amount of tools eric does, I only have a drive way so should i just get a junkyard assembly? I don't like to pay shops

After putting the knuckle back on mine. If I'm driving straight my steering wheel is off to the right by like 15% does it mean I just need an alignment now?

[treeman610]

Thank you so much ! I have never dealt with these bearings before and after a partial disassembly I got a little frustrated . Time for round two!
