the first try at pushing the stud in was quite hard... after the drill out they were hard but not as hard.

don't worry.. there is no play at all.

awesome write up

saved it to my hard drive

Good stuff Willard. I believe ARP makes a honda specific knurl size stud now, I have some on order, I will confirm when they come in. Anyway, I will be doing this to my civic in the next month or so, good write up.

Do I really need all of those sockets you listed? I can only imagine that those 2"+ ones are quite expensive at sears. Also, would you only recommend OEM Honda bearing as a replacement, or would a pepboys/autozone one be acceptable?

What kind of symptoms do you experience when you know the wheel bearings has to be replaced?

Bbasso · 12-31-2003, 08:53 PM

Allthough everything worked fine, I'm still scared about that press

Good detail and good pics!

1: noise from the area
2: jack the car up without it in gear and spin the wheel with your hand, if it don't look like it's moving freely enough check your brakes, then the bearing.
3: they're usually good for 100,000 miles+ if you're in a dry city.

i live in vegas where there's not too much rain or snow

Nuts · 12-31-2003, 11:10 PM

nice write up..... looks like there are a lot of tools I am missing if I have to do it myself though.

EK MONEY · 12-31-2003, 11:36 PM

They do... but the GM ones were in stock and ~$11.50 for a pack of 5.

You need those or the Honda specific pressing tools. The China brand sockets worked quite well and are much cheaper than the Honda press heads.

Dad got that socket set at a tractor show for his 3/4" drive socket set a while back... they have seen more use on the press than anything. Who have ever seen a 2-3/4" nut?

If you can find it cheaper somewhere else be my guest. I know the Honda one will work and will last about a year of HPDE driving for me... so Honda it will be. They are now considered a wear item on my car (like rotors/tires). At the first of the year... the car will get a new drivers side bearing and every other year the car will get a passengers side bearing.

Clicking when going over speed bumps while turning. Under normal use they should last well over 150,000 miles... but track use/heat shorten the life quite a bit.

The press is your friend.

Dad got it at a state auction a few years back for a $100 or so. It has paid for it's self many times over.
-re-bushed 3 Volvo's (full suspension)
-wheel bearing's
-Honda diff. bearing swap

Will, great writeup!! Thanks for sharing.

love the wheel studs

Philly_NBP_R · 01-01-2004, 09:23 AM

sweet write up Willard!
I wish I had a press like that...

mstewar · 01-04-2004, 10:50 PM

nice write up, willard!

Splat · 01-05-2004, 06:31 AM

FYI - Harbor Freight sells a 12-ton press for not a terrible amount of money. Willard can offer input on whether it would be hefty enough for this job, but I know it's more than enough for Volvo suspension bushings

Willard · 01-05-2004, 06:40 AM

12T < 28T

But few have 28T presses in their garage

Harbor Freigh = economical alternative. Use it twice and it has paid for itself
