I own an 89 Civic LX sedan , ED chassis code not EF, currently work in a shop and decided to swap my right hub and bearing on my lunch break since the bearings been screaming at me all month thinking itd be a quick fix. We ordered the part through the shop first from O' Reilys auto parts. Get the part doesnt fit. Return it get a new one from Napa Auto Parts. Doesnt fit. So we decide to order just the bearing hoping to just pack it instead. Catalogs specifications were saying these parts fit my car. End of the day comes around now i had to leave my car at the shop and go home. Im going in on my day off since its taking up space in the shop stuck on the rack. They dont charge me since i work there so i wanna get it out ASAP.

Im wondering if anybody else has had this problem. Am I missing a step before attaching the bearing? I tried putting a little grease on the axle and the bearings still too tight.

 

Front? Rear?

Could have a knuckle swap up front.

What part isn't fitting? Pictures? Knuckles have part codes cast into them.

Sedans usually had bigger front brakes and that usually means larger bearings and hubs.
