95 Accord Front Wheel Bearing Replacement DIY?
I have a 95 Accord with one of the front wheel bearings going bad. Took
it to a tire place today for a diagnoses. They couldn't tell if it was the L or R front. Manager said when I wanted to bring it in he had a stethoscope at home and would bring it in on the day I schedule for repair to find out which side it is. Quote; $130 for the bearing - $164 for labor - $20 for "shop supplies" - $20 tax Grand total $334 Is this a DIY project if I can find out which side it is? Any special tools needed? I was told that the bearing is pressed in. Obviously I don't have a press but could have it removed and pressed in? Or buy an aftermarket hub&bearing combo for $75? Tried to find a step by step online, unsucsessful. My "Chilton's" has no info. |

A few years ago I too kvetched about the ridiculous subheadings for finding the different Honda parts at slhonda.com , Majestic, et al. Some kind, older soul confirmed the method was akin to madness at times but said to persevere; the parts are indeed always there. In this case, try the front brake section, e.g. for an LX: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...+BRAKE+%281%29 |

Make sure to check the rear wheel bearings The noise can sometimes fool you
as to where it is comming from. |
