Re: Wheel Bearing Replacement Front and Rear DYI (kornerk12)
Yes, there is for the rears, I don't feel like hunting it down. It's like "rear wheel bearing installation" or something. It pretty much says to hit the back of the rotor to get the hub and rotor off, and if you want to remove the screws in the rotor to use an impact driver. Sorry this isn't detailed, search and you'll find it.

Re: Wheel Bearing Replacement Front and Rear DYI (fast_honda)
For the grease...what would be better wheel bearing grease or synthetic grease or something else ? Obviously wheel bearing grease would work but i have like a million different types of grease i want to know which will work best .

Re: (kornerk12)
Yes, you have to pack them. That's why I said if you're replacing them, no grease is necessary. 
I have done at least 10 sets of front bearings and 4 sets of rear bearings on 4Gen and 5Gen Preludes. You do NOT have to pack the bearings with grease when you install them. I don't know how to make it any more clear for you. You also do NOT have to set any type of preload on the bearings either. You press out the old bearing, press in the new bearing, reinstall the hub (on the front, the hub is integral to the bearing assembly on the rear) and all the other associated parts, and you're done.
Have you bothered to look in the service manual yet?

Are you serious? Why do you think I posted that smiley?
Did you even bother to read my whole post? Exactly which part of it did you NOT understand after the smiley?
I like to help people, but damn...
If you can't tell what needs to be done from the Helm's manual, you really ought to think twice about doing it yourself.
