FYI - all wagon owners, 4th Gen Prelude VTEC rotors are the correct rotors for this ROH conversion

No posts for a year and a half. But I just read this thread. Your pics in this excellent write up pointed the way to success! Thanks. (I did not do the conversion, just a rotor replacement.) The bottom line for all you folks like me who could not get the bearing hub off the steering knuckle: liquid wrench and a bigger hammer. It's the rust that's got it stuck.

FYI, the Acura CL hubs are running about $90 each these days. Enough to change the financials for me.

Beware of generic parts sites that don't differentiate between the 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 CL hubs. I almost ended up with some hubs that would not have worked.

wouldn't it just be easier to swap a 6th gen knuckle from a V6 over with everything attached?.

This write-up is great.

I have one quick question that I cannot confirm from the photographs: What centers/locates the rotor on the hub?

It looks like the hub has a machined lip to center the rotor, but I cannot see for sure; it also looks like there is air between the studs and the rotor; I have trouble believing that those little screws would do the job.

Thanks for the help. I look forward to doing this swap soon.

Best,

Jesse.

The screws that hold the rotor in have a angled edge, which should be sufficient to center it on the hub.

Why do my bearings look like this and not square like yours on the picture???



PS. those are driveshaft shop hubs.

96 honda accord ex

beautiful right up i will definitely be doing this to my accord once i get the cash. would be so nice to be able to check the rotors without having to have the hub pressed off(i hate taking anything to a shop unless i have to), the axle nut off, etc. you see all he had to do to get the damn things off but installing looked easy beezy

so 98 2.3cl hubs and bearings are all i need to make the conversion? does it work on front and rears?

H23 Power

tas auto sells the hubs and bearings already pressed together. $300 for the set.

Great write up. I just got one question. How did you hold the knuckle to be able to knock out the hub and bearing from it?

accordhybrid

One other bit of advice you can unbolt the upper control arms instead of removing the upper ball joint.

JDM_DC4_Fanatic

-> Nothing from a 6th gen accord will work (suspension wise) on a 4th or 5th gen accord.

-> Your civic bearing was not pressed onto the hub since it needs to be installed into the knuckle first, then secured with a c-clip, then have the hub pressed into the knuckle.

-> There is no point to remove the whole upper control arm, since its more work. Its easier to remove 1 nut and cotter pin and smack it free then to remove 2 bolts.

-> I secured the knuckle assembly in my vise and beat the old bearing out with a hammer.

-> Rear disc brakes on accord are already rotor over hub, so no this wont work for the rear.

-> You would need to change the front rotors, hubs and bearings at the minimum to complete this swap.

i am new to this but i am wondering if any of u guys can let in on a good site where i can
get hub & bearing for my 1990 accord ROH

I am doing H22 swap with a JDM H22 Auto trans the code on the tranny is MP1A THIS CODE on the tranny says it should be LSD BUT WHEN I LOOK inside the tranny it as the pin across the inside for the axel can anybody give some info

nus_dogg

Looks awesome!

how long did it take you to pound the wheel bearing off the knuckle? Mine's been taking off numberous times so I guess it shouldn't put up a fight if I go with the hammer method??

eflemm

does 94accord rear suspension works with 90-93 accord looking for answers

wed3k

that should go into another thread but yes it will work.
