i need a new wheel bearing on my 93 CX with drum brakes. before u all say, "just do a disc conversion", for me thats not an option right now.

i need to know if u can replace the bearing or if u have to get a whole new hub and everything.... and if i DO need a nwe hub and **** will 1 from a 88-91 civic work cause i have 1 for parts

thanks

 

oh yeah i searched too and couldnt find a straight answer...

 

i was told by the dealer that you have to replace the whole hub on the rears. i had a 95 ex w/ drums, hub was ~$100 new i think when i did mine.

this is correct. it is very very simple. the hub/bearing is one unit. all you need to do is remove the drum, remove the 32 mm nut, swap hubs, reinstall in reverse order. extremely simple. can be done in 10~15 minutes max.
