Don't know, I've heard people mention it, but haven't known anyone who had it happen. If you're careful, you should be ok.
If you have an extra $100, it would be a great time to put in fresh bearings anyway.
auto-x/track/drag, even hard daily driving can wreak havoc on bearings after a while

no you can't do it that way on a DC2 hub, unless you grind the **** out of the knuckle. I'm not about do intentionally create a weak part that is prone to fail on a track, or at high speeds.
You can do it that way on EF's.

For siezed rotor screws, I just pounded a phillips head into the screw with a hammer and then turned it with vise grips. It's cheaper than spending the money for an impact wrench, and it is faster than drilling them out.

Re: HOW TO: DIY Wheel stud replacement with pictorial (mooseknuckle)
if you 'pull' the wheel studs with a washer and nut, wont it becomes untightened when you remove the nut and washer?
This is a great write up, i've been meaning to do this for a while, im only rolling on 3 lugs in the front on both sides

It's not really possible to get the bearing out in one piece, because there is a c-clip that holds it in place, that you can't get to with the hub still on. Like I said though, this is not the "right way." It doesn't mean that it doesn't work though. When I was done, I installed the wheel with the car still jacked up, and checked for play in every direction. Spun it to make sure it spun freely. Everything is fine.
Here's a write up that Willard made, but it involves pullers, 28ton press, and a bunch of different sized 3/4 drive sockets to press the parts out. https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=2</TD></TR></TABLE>
Hmm, ruined that SEALED bearing. It may last a little while longer, but I wouldn't chance it. Pull the hub and replace the bearing, if I were you. I used a hammer, few blocks of wood, and a large socket (to hit on the outside race) when I installed my new wheel bearings.

Re: (deeaye9)
I had to use this tool - a front hub puller for FWD cars, which has that center screw. So you wouldn't have to worry about the weight of the rod of an axle puller shifting the hub downward. I've damaged a bearing using the slide hammer before. Sucked even more because the front wheels are where all the torque is at so you feel the wobble greatly. For the rear hubs, you actually would have to use the slide hammer.
Another thing I did with mine was I spot-welded the studs to the hub. That's something that's usually recommended anyway.

You sure about that? How did your rotor bolt-on to the hub then?

is this impossible to do without and axle puller? I have a stripped stud I need to replace. I went to the honda dealer and the guy tried to get me to pay $540 to replace the stud and re-pack the bearings, but I asked somebody else and he said that they are "pressed fit" bearings and don't need to be re-packed.

Re: (Ekay4)
i just did mine at work, with a press. tried the slide hammer, sob wouldnt come out.
if u are replacing a stock stud, it can be done without taking out the hub.
