02-05 Si Hatch (EP) Wheel Bearing differences?
I just bought my EP3 about 2 weeks ago and its got some mileage on it (74k). When I went to go get a set of new tires today the mechanic at firestone let me know (and showed me) that my front driver side bearing has some play in it and probably is going out soon. So I'm shopping for bearings on the web tonight but apparently for 04-05 EP's the bearings are different because all the other bearings I find are compatible for 92-03 civics but the sites all say "Except 04-05 Si". Is there a difference between the bearings or is it just me? I haven't found a site yet that has the "04-05 Si" only bearings so any light on this matter would help greatly. Thanks H/A TR.

02-03 EP3 wheel bearings and different from the 04-05 EP3
AND neither are the same as the non-EP3 bearings as per honda's part catalog

They changed bearing sizes because 04-05 is 5 lug and the bearing is different.
