Very nice visuals for going through your distributor:


Apologies if this has been posted before.

Is the bearing in these distributors serviceable?

Glad you liked it. The computer voice is a little creepy, but I am guessing it may be a cae of English as a second language...

Regarding bearing replacement, I did find a few more resources:

On the topic of bearing replacement, When I pulled up the TD-44U distributor on NAPA's website, they listed a distributor shaft bearing from Altrom: https://www.napaonline.com/napa/en/p...001_0246984850

I might tear into my old distributor and see if this is a match.

I did not realize the NAPA link wouldn't go to the product.
NAPA shows a Nachi bearing, Altrom Line, p/n ATM 1416001 as good for Civics and Integras from '92-'01
$27

Found these TD-44 distributors for $71:

Allegedly new.

@slomofo Hahaha, didn't see this 5 years ago, but even so, I didn't have much say back then being a fairly new moderator and only a section moderator at then back then. I might be able to suggest now but it still goes before "a committee" as it were.

Right around the time we were last posting in here, @spAdam dropped some knowledge that you can get the bearing from Bearing Depot & Supply.

https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-.../#post52344499

Sure enough, I called them and they had an entire kit that included the bearing and both oil seals needed for the distributor. I ordered one and it ran me $41.90:
