I dont have my car apart yet, and wont till the weekend.

But I'm replacing a buncha **** while I have it apart, including new front wheel bearings.

What I got from autozone- timken doesn't have any splines on it.

Shouldn't it?

I remember when I did my CV axle it fits into the wheel bearing with a spline, and the wheel bearing itself has a spline.

What I got from autozone looks like this:


or is that spline part of the wheel bearing somehow seperated from the wheel bearing? I remember some stuff from when i did the 5 lug conversion, the knuckle I got already had a wheel bearing in it of course from a 98 base prelude... so I dont remember what it looked if it came apart some how.

I'm looking at my service manual right now and doen'st really say anything (that I can tell) special about this other than press one out, press one in?

Also if anyone has a 97+ service manual, if you could post the pages in the service manual regarding the wheel bearing I'd really appreciate it.

I've got my 92-96 service manual but i dont know if I should know anything different beacuse the knuckle on my car is from a 98 (5th gen)

one last question... I've got a normal shop press.. but the svc manual calls for some kind of HUB/Disassembly tool to be used as an attachment for the press....

Is this NECESSARY? Or will i be able to improvise some kinda way to use my press to press out the bearing?

The bearing looks right. The hub, which has the splines goes into the bearing.

ohh okay... i guess i'll see that better when i begin to press **** apart.

I've gota find ap lace to get the press shims and stuff that I'll need to support the knuckle correctly on the shop press and everything.

I'm hoping I'll find everything I need at harbor freight
