Default How hard is it to change out wheel bearing?

I need to change out my passenger side wheel bearing, i bought one today for $50 at a local parts store, just wondering if i could do it myself. I dont think so, cuz i think it needs to be pressed into the hub, but i was just wondering..

What year accord do you have, how many miles on it too? Is a new wheel bearing something that should be changed like every few years? I'm curious.

ITS A PAIN IN THE ****

Yea its pressed in. Break down your hub off your car, then take it to a shop. Normally about $30 for them to swap it out. Just make sure they have the right adapter to do so.

Good luck

Na these are normally good for 80k plus. I have seen cars with over 125k on them that have wheel bearings that are still good.

Mine finally went at 264k miles

Hey for the message thingy at the bottom of your phrase you have [img url=...].

here its not the "< >" to do an image its " [ ] "

[IMG]"http://hayesphotoshop.com/st/honda/sign.jpg"[/IMG] (remove the "")
