Default wheel bearing

has anyone ever replaced an accord wheel bearing, if so is it possible without taking it in to the shop?

the rear hub and bearing are all one piece. they're rather expensive (like 120 a side?)
you'll need to remove the drum; (pulls straight off- if seized on, there's threads to put bolts on to help pull it off) once that's off, there's a bronze cap you get off by getting a small screwdriver and prying it off of the hub; then the (32mm?) hub bolt (unstake it first) comes off and then the hub will pull off.

buy a haynes or helms manual.

Anything is possible, just depends on your level of skill. I personally wouldn't attempt it unless I had all the right tools, and somebody to help me. Its always nice to have a helping hand, and a good set of jack stands

i was asking about the front wheel bearings on a 95 accord, i was thinking about going to a junk yard and just getting the spindles off of another accord, does anyone know if the prelude spindle fits?

ohhh kay
still need to buy a haynes or helms
for the front on a 95
the hubs are pressed onto the bearing
the bearing bolts to the disc
the whole shebang bolts onto the knuckle.
i dont know what spindles are. if you mean bearing, then no, they're different.
you'll need someone with a press.
