hold up, Do you need a front bearing or a rear bearing???? Rear bearings dont need a press, but the fronts do. You dont need a new circlip.

front

Then u will need a slide hammer, press, cut off wheel or hacksaw, and circlip pliers. If you need the front, then why were you looking at a rear bearing on ebay??

Not to pass judgement, why do folks buy such odd items on ebay, A-zone/Napa us like up the block and just as cheap.

I buy vintage records and 1930's camera gear on eBay, things I would buy at a garage sale.

Would you buy a brake repair kit or an airbag sensor at a garage sale?

If you'll excuse me I have to go bid on a 1981 Def Lepard Concert Tee now--oohh it's even faded to gray with cigarette burns, sweat...

i kinda have to agree but somtimes id trust thing on ebay more than crapzone.

but if oem is that close of price, id usually stick to that.

This is just the thread i was looing for! Yesterday, my dealership told me they notice while putting air in the tire after putting the wheel on, that there was a bit of give to the entire wheel (REAR WHEEL) and they suspected the bearing were going. THey quoted $350 to replace both rear wheel bearings. No way! I want to do this myself and need to know the right tools for the job. It is a 1998 Honda Accord EX 4cyl. I will just go ahead and replace both hubs in the back since they already have the bearing pressed in. Besides a 35mm socket, are there any other tools needed? Also, the hub is in front of the disc brake and simply detaches after a few bolts are taken out right?

The back i you just take off the brake compents, and take off the axel nut and remove, The front you will need a press.
