Since the rears dont need the bearings to be pressed, do the rear drum brakes need to completely come off since im replacing the whole hub?

 

1. Break the rear wheel lug nuts loose by turning them counterclockwise with a tire wrench.

2. Raise the Civic onto jack stands. Lift the Civic up using the rear jack point near behind the trunk and place jack stands under the pinch welds of the vehicle. Then lower the Civic onto the jack stands.

3. Finish removing the lug nuts and pull the wheel off the hub assembly.

4. Hit the outside of the drum hard with a hammer to knock it loose from the hub. Then pull the outer drum off.

5. Remove the hub retaining nut with a socket wrench.

6. Remove the nut and the thrust washer behind the nut.

7. Pull the wheel bearing and hub assembly off the spindle.

8. Reverse removal instructions for installation.

 

yea, never mind thank you though, it took a whole 20 min, I saw the rear drums and I HATE REAR DRUMS

 

Is it the same for disc brakes also?

 

Pretty much. Part numbers and the necessary time to do the job change.

 

So I just buy the hubs with bearings and they bolt it?

 

Pretty much. It's not like the front wheel bearings, where the axles go through them.
