I have a 95 Honda accord lx 2.2 non vtec and I've decided to do the brakes over this weekend well that was a mistake!!
I found a thread that you can convert to R-O-H, but one of the parts a 1998 Acura 2.3cl front hub OEM part # - 44600-YS8-A00 . I am having no luck finding. I've tried almost every local parts store, I've also tried eBay, and still no luck. can anybody help me out

thanks

 

I went to the Acura dealer. Take plenty of money!

Or you could just get the front knuckles off a 95-98 Odyssey.

 

lol yeah I called the dealership this morning and they wanted 193.58 or something really close for just one and I am not trying to do all that can I just go to the part store and get a odyssey hub?? but the only down fall and game ended to that is that im still for lug..

 

Have you checked car-parts dot com?

 

No I haven't but I will right now

 

Odyssey would be 5 lug, so that may be a problem for you.

 

Dealership only item. Very expensive as others have stated. May have better luck at a junkyard. I was looking to do this conversion as well but gave up because of the cost and lack of used hubs for sale.

 

You can either go to any online oem Acura dealer or you can get it from tasauto and the bearing and hub come as a set already together. You will obviously need to have your existing hub and bearing pressed out of your existing knuckle and then have this set pressed into your knuckle.

Just to let you know if you want, you can just buy the hub from any acura dealer and have your existing bearing pressed out and into the new hub and have that setup pressed back into your knuckle so you can possibly save a little buy just buying the cl hub.

This is the first result I pulled up, it might be cheaper at other sites but you will need part 24 and if you want the bearing is part 2 but, again, your existing bearing is the same but it depends on if you want to reuse it or just replace it while you're at it.

 

Meh, IMO unless you are going to 5 lug there is really no point going to the ROH. If the rotors are toasted, and you do not track the car, then the bearings are most likely well worn too. That requires the front end dis assembly anyway.

FWIW, the bearings cannot really be reused. Usually the outer race sticks to the hub which probably damages the outer bearing seal when it is pulled apart. Plus they are only 30 bucks from RockAuto, not worth trying to salvage such a critical part.

 

The point of the roh conversion is to make it really easy to take off the rotor whenever it needs to be replaced. I'm not sure why you would need to go to 5 lug.

Assuming his existing bearing isn't making any noise, since he hasn't said so, I was just throwing it out there that that is an option if he really wants to save more money.

 

The reasons for going to 5 lug are to avoid the cost of a 4-lug ROH, to have more options of OEM rotor sizes, and to have more wheel options to choose from.

 

yeah im really not trying to do that right now I just wanted to do a brake job really.

yeah that's what ive been told by multiple part store and even some shops. I think Im just gunna end up using the same captive rotor set up. due to the lack and cost of the hubs.

yeah after the research ive done and from what I read on this thread I think im gunna stay away from that 200$ part for just one.

yeah that's what I definitely would be needing, but I think the cost made me want to stop thinking about doing that.


yeah the only reason im not gunna do a 5 lug, is only cause I do not/ nor do not want to buy wheels right now. and the only reason I was going to do the R-O-H is just for further brake jobs, to make it easier on myself.

that's exactly why I was gunna do it and the only need I would see for going 5 lug is because of the better market around where im at for wheels. its quite hard finding a decent 4x114.3 rim that I actually like and isn't a stock 240 rim with no wheels.

depending on how you look at it, it coulda been cheaper to do the r-o-h, due to the fact I still have drum brakes in the rear and I woulda left those alone, but I woulda loved having the wheel options

Much easier, plentiful options for going 5-lug than using Odyssey parts, and 5-lug drum is an option with a CRV 5-lug drum. I bought my car with the ROH 4-lug done with bigger rotors/calipers, otherwise, this would the route I'd take. It should be noted that the proper way to convert to a 5-lug rear using the Prelude hub is to get the rear spindle from a 6th gen V6 car, as well, and a 1/8" spacer to be put onto the spindle before being pressed into the knuckle to properly seat the Prelude hub.
