Just an update - the hub is a press fit to the bearing... I had to remove the entire front knucle and took it down to the Honda dealer to get them to do it - So a bearing and five wheelstuds later... (dont know the finacial damage yet!!) and the Euro will be back on the road with the new shockies... YAY!!! Thanks to all who answered so promptly and with some great advice - Love the OZHONDA spirit.

P.s. I will do a full D.I.Y on the suspension installand the knuckle removal when time permits...
