Wheel Bearing Replacement 95 Accord
I just replaced the drive shafts on my 95 Accord DX. Next step is to
replace the front wheel bearing assembly on the passenger side. I haven't replaced these before but I'm assuming from looking at the factory manual that the entire knuckle needs to be removed. If I replace the entire assembly, does it need to be pressed in/out? Any other advice/tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Nick |

Need 20-ton press. Care must be taken to make sure you press in the correct places and to correct depth. This is _not_ a frivolous operation. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

My 92' Accord's lower ball joint seals are cracking, and I'm considering replacing the bearings while knuckles are off. A Question: How difficult is a lower ball joint replacement? Haynes (I know...) talks about 'special tools' to get the things out. I assume a big-assed press is involved?! TY |

Wheel Bearing Replacement 95 Accord
I've found a local shop that presses ball joints/wheel bearings for
other shops. I'm going to order the parts and just bring them the knuckle to have them replace the wheel bearing and lower ball joints.

My 92' > Accord's lower ball joint seals are cracking, and I'm considering > replacing the bearings while knuckles are off. I don't know who makes remanned knuckles, if anyone. You could phone your dealer/jobber and ask. Pre-emptive replacement of the wheel bearings is probably not necessary depending on the weather in your area. I'd just wait until they make noise. If you did want to go pre-emptive (and didn't mind the expense), it would be a good idea to replace the brake rotors and any corroded splash shields at the same time. Your rotors are pressed on and need to be pressed off. It's all the same labor that way. > > A Question: How difficult is a lower ball joint replacement?

Getting it out of the knuckle is trickier. Honda does specify an on-car balljoint removal for some Civics. The hand tool used resembles a giant, heavy-duty C-clamp. This is intended for use with those knuckles that can only handle one balljoint replacement, so I don't know what kind of success you'd have using it on your car's knuckle. It would be safest to just pull the knuckle and let a shop use their 20-ton press on it. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
