Default Do they make replacement hubs for EF CRX's?

I want to know if they make replacement front hubs for my '91 CRX Si. I need to replace the front wheel bearings and it would be so much easier to replace the whole hub then to press the bearings out and pressing them back in. I know they make replacement bearings, but do they make remanufactured hubs?

Need you guys help!

Thanks

I've never looked into reman ones but when I needed to replace one of mine I grabbed one from a junker for $20 for the whole hub. Just find a low mileage one and I'm sure it would be cheaper than a new/reman one.

yeah I was thinking of that but any EF's in the junk yard would not likely have low mileage. But thanks.

buy one from the wrecking yard, have the bearing pressed out, have hub sandblasted, then have a new bearing pressed in....good as new

You don't just replace the hub in front without using a press. It is pressed into the wheel bearings and the wheel bearings are pressed into the knuckle. You could replace the whole steering knuckle but, it seems cheaper to just buy the bearings and press out the old and press in the new. Rear is different story, replace whole hub with bearings.

Yeah you first press in the bearing then you press in the hub. Hub's dont go bad. Bearing wear out after time. There is not point in replaicing a hub. You replace bearings.
