Default Rear bearings going?

I get a humming sound from the rear of the car with all windows up, im guessing my bearings are going in the back. Anyone know where to get some good bearings and a cheap price?

Good and cheap do not usually mix well. Check the price at your Honda dealer-ask for every discounbt you can legitimately come up with including AAA and Hondaclub.com. Then call Bearings, Inc or a similar supply house that handles Timken and see if their parts are less. Timken is a world leader and does supply for our cars.

the rear 4g bearings consist of a spindle and a hub unit, the bearings reside in the hub unit, which is where the lug studs are mounted.
ull need to remove the wheel, caliper, caliper bracket, rotor.
at this point u have to pry the center cap off the hub unit. its between the four lug nuts in the middle, just lightly tap an awl or screwdriver into the groove to pry the cap off.

now u will need a 32mm axle socket (about $15 at autobarn).

take that bolt off and then you can slide the hub/bearing off the spindle.
the hub with bearing from honda is about 131 + shipping
the spindle is about $127 + shipping

Are you sure it's not just tire noise, I know my RE730's are loud as hell now that they're on their last legs.
