Seems that I need new hubs (bearings really) on the rear. The discounted Honda parts places want $100 bux/side. My local Honda dealer wants $140 bux/side. Local yard sells them for $20/side. I already bought two of the $20 ones and did not fix my problem. Any ideas? Anybody bought bearings and rebuilt?
TIA

I believe the bearings were like 30-40 a pop when I looked over a year ago when one of mine went out. I got the whole hub from a junker round here for 22. If you just need to replace the bearings youll need a press or get a shop to press them in and out. I'm sure you can get by with a big hammer and sockets, just depends how **** you are about getting it done right.

Already tried the cheepo route, time to do it right. I have a press at work, that's how I did my fronts. Do you know where I can get the bearings only?

I cant remember where I saw them, it wasnt honda though, they only sell the assy. Grr, its been so long I dont have the link or anything but I know theyre out there, I think they were $20 a pop and I was gonna do both thats why I've got $40 in my head....sorry I cant help much more.

 

Found em, PM sent. Not as cheap as I thoght but still much better than Honda.

 

Would you re-send the PM. Having learning curve with Win service pack 2
thanks
