Replacing an Accord Wheel Bearing
Ok, here it is finally. A few of you have requested this procedure so here it is. As I said in the video I normally use a different method of removing the hub from the bearing assembly by using a slide hammer. I also normally use a press to reinstall the hub into the new bearing instead of hitting it with a hammer. Life is not perfect and we sometimes have to improvise as I did here. I know a few of you will ask about the size fasteners that I used to hammer the bearing out, I used hardened (8.8) 10x1.25 bolts to do the job. I also promised links to the other videos that relate to this one so here they are.

Eric, I've wanted to say this for a long time. Thank you for your hard work you do for all of us! I have a masters degree, and everything fell through. Raising a family is tough when out of work, so I try to do most of my own work on our older Honda's, and you are definitely my top resource when I am stuck. You have saved me a lot of money, I love to learn and your vids are entertaining. You got to know how much you and your work is appreciated! Blessings on you and your household!

Thanks for showing me how to keep my old Honda on the road! I've successfully used your videos for several different repairs. Interesting the way you pulled this bearing. I've done it with a bearing puller and used a torch to cut that annoying race. Then pressed the new bearing in place (with a press). Your method makes it possible for the "average Joe". Keep up the great work Eric!

@sirgergorymmmc2231 7 лет назад
As a machinist, I have learned a very easy way to get the bearing race of any hub or axle with no damage to the hub or axle.. You run a bead of weld around the race, in the center of course.. The heat and weld will expand the race to the point of it just falling off.. Works every time.

Two incorrect wheel bearings later... Make sure that what you are buying is what you are getting. ABS wheel bearings have a magnetic side that the ABS sensor uses. A lot of wheel bearings 'look' right, but are not. To make sure you actually have ABS equipped wheel bearings prior to installation, dangle a paper clip near the either side of the wheel bearing. If the clip is magnetized, good for you (that is the side that faces the abs sensor). I, however, went through two sets of 'ABS wheel bearings' that did not have any magnetized sides and thus, the DREADED abs light on the dashboard. Needless to say, the company did not reimburse me for the installation (only replacement/refund) of two bad sets. So, the lesson, once again, is to make sure the parts you are installing match the parts you are removing. The pain of it all, is that all three sets 'look' the same (3rd set was right), only doing the magnetic test was I able to make sure the 3rd set was right. One wrong set came from amazon, and one bad set from Rockauto.

They fixed it. On my 01 Accord the rotors go over the hub and are held in place by a couple of little Philips head screws so the rotor doesn't come off when you pull the wheel off. And I'm definitely in the "change the bearing and hub as an assembly" camp. Much less work that way, and I'm all about much less work. :D
@scibamb
@scibamb 13 лет назад
My "special tool" when doing this job is a trailer hitch ball. I keep the nut on the trailer hitch bolt when separating the hub assembly/rotor from the bearing / knuckle. Then I take the nut off when driving the bearing back into the hub. Also, a standard Dremel grinding wheel (non-reinforced version) will cut through a stuck bearing race. The grinding wheel is just small enough that you can cut through without even grinding into the hub. Eric, thanks for starting this channel--it's awesome

Another fine "how to" from Eric. Thanks. Did this same job on my Rover 620ti ( English Accord variant from the Honda-Rover partnership from way back ) some years ago for the first time. Was disappointed to see that inner race left on the hub. Thought about it and used the same method to cut and chisel the inner race away. Worked a treat. That Honda Hub over Disc/Rotor design means a lot more work than Brake Disc/Rotor over Hub used on most other Rovers and MGs.

I just changed my bearing a couple weeks ago on my '96 Accord. I replicated much of your previous vid, except I applied a generous amount of PB Blaster where the bearing meets the knuckle. I put in the sacraficial bolts to hammer out the bearing, but as I was clamping the knuckle down in the vise, the whole hub/bearing assembly fell out of the knuckle. Put in the new bearing/hub assembly and the ride is smooth as butter now. Thanks for the tips Eric!

Eric thanks for what you do --- your vids on the accord wheel bearing replacement enabled me to be able to do this myself even down to cuttiing the race off the hub and grinding the rotor to get it back on---the most trouble was pressing the hub into the new bearing without a press. I used some 3/4 treaded rod with nuts and washers on both sides and got it to within 1/16" before the rod broke ====the sledgeamatic got it seated . I used some wood under it to protect the bearing ---thanks again

Thanks Eric! I wish I would have seen your video before I began replacing a broken lug nut stud on my 1990 Honda Accord! Because when doing that I realized my rotors needed to be replaced. I did not know the rotor was "captive"! After destroying the ball joints, using a pickle fork, I googled and found your video and got through the project of replacing the rotor and hub bearing while I was that far. Home Depot had the M10x1.25 80 MM lag bolts and your special tool XD45 is actually a follower bolt for a mechanical joint for assembling Ductile iron pipe (used for water lines. Now to replace passenger side! Thanks again!

Literally pulled this video up in while i was in the junkyard. I found an Accord that had a steering knuckle with a brand new lower ball joint already installed. Had to strip it down so I didn't spend too much since all I needed was the knuckle with the joint. taking the hub out worked like a charm on the spot.

A little different, but it worked, YOU THE MAN!

Total job cost = 80 bucks. Done. Thanks!!!

@ericthecarguy 14 лет назад
Thanks for the comment. Yes, the process is similar. The differences are that the bearing is pressed into the knuckle and is held in place by a large snap ring. Also as I said in the description it's a good idea to slide hammer out the hub assembly with the knuckle still on the car before you remove it, I couldn't on this one because the ball joint was broken. Other than that it's pretty much the same, just make sure you get the bearing back in correctly, the rubber side goes toward the hub.

Hey eric this video helped me immensely! I couldnt figure out how to get the bearing off of the assembly without damaging the hub too badly in the process. The design on this car's brake and wheel assembly creates a potential for the owner to get stuck paying a shop a lot of money.

@EricTheCarGuy Cool, thanks for the info. The noise started last night and I didnt have enough light to check it out. I removed the tire today and tried to spin the hub. It didnt spin very freely and had some grinding noise. It also has a lot of free play.

awesome vid. its really great that you post these vids. yes i do this stuff for a living, but i still like to see others do it, so i can learn new things. i have only done a couple wheel bearings like this. most are complete hub/bearing/abs sensor assemblies so its just a replacement of of peice. although i have done a few that involve a bunch of special tools and a shop press, not fun at all.

@tmackinator I agree on the press part, in fact I hope to get one and show it's operation but the heating I don't agree with as you will temper the metal of the hub and in my opinion takes a lot more effort. I do appreciate your input however and like you said, six of one and half a dozen of the other.
