where can I get a wheel bearing pressed
I've got to do the front wheel bearing on my 99 accord. I'm planning to do the work myself, but I don't have a press to put the new bearing into the hub, or get it out for that matter, but a hammer should work for that part, since I don't really care about the condition of the old part. does anyone know where I can get that done at? I don't want to go to the dealer, cause i know they will ***-rape me in the wallet, but I guess I will if I have to. does somewhere like auto zone do stuff like that.
or is there a reasonably priced tool I can buy? I'd do that if the tool wasnt too expensive. I've rented tools from auto zone before, but I don't think they have something like this.

I took my knuckles to a local shop and had them press out the old bearings and press in new bearings. Don't remember what they charged it probably was 1 hr labor or 60 bucks. Make sure you bring in the bearing bolts so they can properly line up the new bearings.

Any local privately owned shop should have a press, and should be able to do this if you just bring them the assembly in 5 minutes. Should charge you $10-$20.

A tip on those bearings... get the jdm hub and bearings already assembled, cost a bit more but well worth it. I got mine from manhonda but you have to call, the part number is different.

Re: where can I get a wheel bearing pressed (jweller)
The quality is just so much better, i can say for certain that when comparing the two(both new) the jdm spun more smoothly, and the castings were much much better. Quality of finish and i believe bearings are most likely of higher quality and tolerances. Stocks were US, this is a 97 accord, built in marysville, OH. I will find the boxes for the honda part numbers. I also have a good drivers side bearing. I replaced both just in case, even though only right side was bad.
