91 accord front wheel bearing problem

[scalwal]

I'm having a hard time removing front wheel bearings on 91 accord. Any suggestions or tips on revoval and replacement. Thanks

find long 10x1.25mm bolts.
remove wheel
remove axle nut
loosen the 4 bolts that go through the hub
remove brake caliper
pop the knuckle off the tie rod, lower and upper ball joints
take the knuckle off the car
loosen 4 bolts holding the bearing to the knuckle
tap the bearing+rotor+hub out by tapping the 4 bolts w/ a hammer


now put the long 10x1.25mm bolts in through the back of the bearing and turn the rotor til the bolts press on the rotor. It will press the rotor+hub off the bearing. Turn each one little by little, going criss cross until you push the hub off the bearing.

However, be sure you have broken the 4 bolts that go thru the rotor to the hub loosen before you removed everything off the car. They are really hard to remove after taking everything off.

to get the hub on a new bearing... take it to a shop to have them press it.

This is where it's nice to have a 60 ton electric powered hydraulic press at your disposal.

Nice how to.

Thanks for your help, I was looking at breaking out the torch.
