If I purchased this

Hub w/ bearing, does it still need a press to replace the bearing. Does it make the job easier? Would I save money to purchase this instead of just the bearing?

 

ick tech :barf:


I can't say for sure because it has been a while but I don't think you would need a bearing press. You will need a BFH and a good swing (or 20) but not a bearing press.

 

it reads to me like the bearing is already pressed in, but I don't have an accord so :dunno: if your going to use a BFH to put a bearing in at least use a block of wood to cushion it. On small parts I'd rather just take the part to a garage and have it pressed in properly rather than risk damaging a bearing.

 

no

but for fuck's sake Honda OEM is only like $10 more.

 

Bearing press is the best practice. If you do pound it in with a hammer, do make an effort to try to hammer the race in evenly, otherwise you may develop spots where the bearing sticks.

 

No need for a press. Should already be pressed on for you. I'm assuming this is for the rear?

 

if its an assembled hub than no press is needed....but for god sakes go OEM honda...

 

that bearing wont last long, i have seen what happens when people use aftermarket bearings. For the rear you dont need a press, u just need a 32mm socket and then usally it slide off.

 

it's an assembled hub, just swap it out.

 

I went to they mechanic, they said $75 to install the bearing, so Imma just get the HONDA bearing $51 plus shipping. BUT should I get the CIRCLIP also (see part # 21)
