Hey. I need to replace the rear bearings in my 2004 2nd gen CRV. However, I do not own a press. Removing the hub, the bearings without a press seems like it’ll take me days and hours to complete and I run the risk of damaging where the hub and bearing sits inside the knuckle. I don’t see any hub bearing pre pressed parts for sale. Only the bearing and the hub sold together but not pressed. I searched for OEM parts and it looks like they discontinued the rear knuckle assembly - which I would I purchase if it came w new hub bearing and bushings. Any help appreciated. Looking for new. Non OEM would be OK if the hub is pressed into bearings.

 

BK Honda shows they have them for the 2004 Element which shares the same parts with the CRV. You can also get bearings and have a shop pressed them in. Good luck 🍀 and let me know how you make out

 

So the element has a bolted hub with bearing assembly in the rear and the crv has a separate bearing with snap ring Into the hub. Basically they’re different. Either way I’d have remove the bearing from the rear knuckle bc of there crv design where as it Looks like the element you unbolt the hub and bearing comes out with. Better design On the element in my inexperienced opinion! If I could use the element hub in bearing assembly On the crv I would consider it but I don’t think it’s possible. Crv only has a knuckle supporting it that hub and bearing are pressed into. Element has bolt assembly for rear.
