Default 94 Civic Front Wheal Bearing Change Write Up

I looked and looked for for info about replacing the wheel bearing and found nothing so I picked up a bearing and rented a 4 pc axle nut kit from Autozone so I could do the work and post a write up for later use.

Wheel Bearing at Autozone= $33.99 same as $44.99 just check the part numbers and dont waste your money.

Axle Nut Kit at Autozone= $45.99 and you can take it back when your done nd get every penny back plus if one breaks the replace it for free.





Doing the work later today and will post 100 pics of the process.

Good Luck!! You are going to need a 50 ton shop press with the proper sized driver die or you WILL, not CAN damage not only your new hub bearing, but the "spindle" assembly as well.
