damn, you're having a bunch of problems with this thing, huh? lol. I know you can A) get a puller/hammer of some kind and pull/hammer out the old one or B) take the whole spindle with a new bearing to a machine shop and they'll press the old one in and new one out in a couple of minutes to an hour.

yeah, having a honda is nice but like all used cars, maintenance is a requirement. there is almost no way around it.

its pretty easy you do have to take off the whole spindle.you can hammer out the old one get a 20mm socket with a 6" or so ext. and hold the spindle between your legs BEcarful and just hammer it out about 4hits should do but the new one will have to be pressed in or go to autozone and "rent" the balljoint tool and you can do it yourself

id just take the whole hub off... then buy the bearing should be like 47.00 for one..

take it to a machine shop to have the old one pressed out and the new one pressed in...

i think they charged me 20.00 for the work...

Just did one on my hatch on the driver side... now its silent again...

Just take the whole thing off and take it to someone to have them press it out and press a new one in. Don't mess around with your wheel bearing!!! Do it right and spend the money here. And yes most shops will charge you $20.00 each side. If you want the longer studs now would be the time to do it as well.
