Default Wheel bearing and tie rods? Are they hard to replace.

I had my car at the shop for an alignment and they told me my driver side wheel bearing and my tie rod ends are going bad. I can get the parts much cheaper than they want and I always try to do my own work. So I am trying to get some advice to make this easier. Any help is very appreciated.

funny you ask, i did those at the same time as well. for the bearings, you have to remove the whole hub assy and have a machine shop press out the old brgs and in with the new. for the tie rods, count how many times you turn each one to unscrew it, then screw on the new one the same number of times. each side will be different. this will give you a rough estimate to drive. then get an alignment IMMEDIATELY. the whole process for both should take about half a day or so. sometimes honda suspension is siezed together quite nicely

good luck

Yeah I know about the suspension being seized up. My rear control arm bushing bolts didn't want to leave the bushings at all. I had fun with that when I changed out my springs and struts.
