'91 Accord Rear Wheel Bearing/Hub Install
Hey All,
Car Info::
1991 Honda Accord SE 4Dr
Automatic with 4 Wheel Discs (ABS - Dont Know for Sure)
I have a friend who needs a new rear wheel bearing/hub assembly for his Accord. It makes nasty grinding noises at low speeds. My question is the ease of doing this job. I have a quite large set of tools and an air compressor. Do I need a slide hammer to get this hub out or will it come out rather easily? Instructions would be great!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Re: '91 Accord Rear Wheel Bearing/Hub Install (Guteman)
IIRC the hub/bearing assembly isn't hard to remove. Once you unbolt the axle nut just give the hub a good pull by hand and it'll come off the spindle. Now you'll still have to remove the inner race from the spindle though, that gets left behind when you pull the hub/bearing assembly off.
I've never removed the inner race but I've heard of people taking a grinder and grinding a slot in the race then taking a slotted screw driver, sticking it in the slot and twisting the screw driver causing the inner race to expand and snap in half.

Don't mean to stick my nose in......... but the rear hub has a different bearing setup than the front bearings; old hub off, new hub on.

Gravy job </TD></TR></TABLE>Yeah, but sometimes the inner race sticks on the spindle. That pulls the bearing apart & then you have to figure out how to remove that inner race from the spindle.
Did one & it came off like gravy; another time I needed PB Blaster, a propane torch, & pipe wrench.
It depends on corrosion. I think Milwaukee & northeast Ohio have a contest going to see who can use more road salt...
