Yeah, you replace the whole hub. This requires removing the caliper. It's a not-so-fun job if your car has been attacked by salt - there are 2 screws in the hub that barely come out (God only knows why they put
screws on there) and, for me, the hub seperated when I tried to take it off and required another 15 minutes on each side using an impact wrench to jar it loose.
fac90: Newer Hondas all require replacement of the entire hub for wheel bearings. I was forced to drive on my bad rear bearings for about 3k miles and they looked horrid when I got them off, so I don't suggest going more than 1k on them or when they started to squeal badly.
