99 civic rear wheel bearing replacement help need (drum brakes)
My fiancee has a 99 civic 4 dr. The rear wheel bearings need replaced. They are howling real bad. The car has drum brakes. I just need to know how to do it and if there are any honda specific tools required. Thanks guys.

Ok first remove the front drum, remove the rear brakes then there should be a 32mm nut i believe you'll need a breaker bar remove the nut then it should just pop out.

i was really hoping that i wouldnt need to remove the brakes. i hate drums. I was just curious about one thing. Are you sure its a 32mm nut? That sounds huge.

you dont have to remove the brakes since its drum. remove the drum then just pop off the gold dust cap in the middle with a thin flat head and a hammer. then remove the 32mm nut. the hub with bearing will pull rite off. replace with new hub assembly and torque to 180ft lbs.

Re: (ooopseyesharted)
When you tighten the nut after you replace the bearing, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN it cos you will damage the bearing...
Tightening torque
181 Nm - 18.5 kgfm - 134 lbf-ft
And DON'T FORGET TO STAKE THE SPINDLE NUT SHOULDER AGAINST THE SPINDLE after you tighten the nut...

What does that last line mean.
what does "stake the spindle nut shoulder against the spindle" mean.
this isnt something I wanna screw up

Ull see it when u look at it. The axle nut is punched down in one spot to prevent it from backing off. Just remember to punch it back down when u are finished.

Yes it is a 32mm nut, no you do not need to remove the brake shoe assembly.

Re: (mcvtec)
i am doing the rears.
I was just comparing the front and rear pricing.
What should I spend for REAR bearings?
I got them at autozone. They were $60 each.
