i think i need to replace the front wheel bearings on my civic, what i want to know is i tried repco and they said you can only get them from honda, its for a EK civic, is that true? do i need to get them from honda? its just dealers=$$$ :cry:
Also do you need any special tools to do it? in my old sigma turbo its easy to do, whats it like for a civic?
all you need is a press to press out the old bearing and seperate the hub from it. then just press in the new one. try bearing places once you got the old one out. dont just go in there arsking for a EK civic bearing as they will just lift there sholders, they will measure your old bearing and supply you with one. Iv got them in the past from CBC's for an old lude but they wernt cheep either..
OK.. just changed mine.,.
The bearing can be bought from liek 98% of all autoparts store!
The hub can be pressed out for like $10-15..
BUT
Alot of the times like my case,, the hub was f!@$#ked too. You can only puiurchase the hub and bearing combo from honda or 2nd hand.
WAY TO TELL?
when u shake the whee bolts, does the beaing move tightly with the hub?
yes then you can just replace the beaing
no- then your rooted for a new one

would you say a shuddering noise from the front right, which gets worse under load is a bearing problem... lol.
