I just bought an 88' si with a b16 swap. it needs the driver's side bearing tightened. I was just looking for how to tighten it. and also is there any right up on how to remove the front and rear bumper covers? my bumper cover brackets are bent. thanks, any help appreciated

 

Driver's side bearing? Wheel bearing?

 

yea, sorry

 

for the bumper covers on the rear you have to take the lights out of the rear and i used a cordless drill and got the screws out. on the front just lift the hood and take out the corner lights.

 

oh and on the rear on theres 2 bolts under the bumper and one behind the license plate

 

thankyou very much, well appreciated I was told my rear bumper cover brackets were bent, where can I find new ones?

but does anyone know how to tighten the driver's side wheel bearing?

 

i don't think you can. you just need to replace it.

 

you gcan get the bolts at honda they need to be special ordered tho

 

you mean the bearings? they need replaced? or do u mean the brackets?

 

to tighten bearing???, just tighten the axle nut tighter if u have slight play somtimes works in the front, or if its in the back your fucked replace it.

 

its in the front, and yes it is very minimal but I just dont want it to get worse
by the way, the axle nut is right in the center of the hub when i take the wheel off right?

 

yes it is a 32 mm i use an inger sol rand impact to take thoose of at work nothing like 1000 ft pounds of torque at my fingertips. good luck if you don't have air tools, but you want to tighten it so use a nice breaker bar and a pipe

 

ITs probably going to be a bad wheel bearing . they are a big sealed pressed in bearing . tightening that nut will tighten the axel into the bearing not tighten the bearing. you need to jack up the car wiggle the wheel back and forth and up and down and see where the play actually is. IF you dont have a press you wont be able to replace the bearing yourself.

 

oh ok thanks. I know of a few shops that will do it for a reasonable price

another thing, is there a way to align a bumper cover, or do I need new supports. and what cars can I use the supports from?
thanks
