Here's how to replace the rear bearing or hub assembly on a front--wheel-drive vehicle that has bolt-on style rear hubs.
The wheel bearings are integrated into the hubs as a single bolt on assembly. Over time, the bearings can wear down and cause a whirring noise, become loose, cause vibration and eventually may cause the wheel to separate from the car. Thus replacing wheel bearings when they are worn are imperative to maintaining a safe vehicle.
Four bolts hold the rear hub assembly to the rear knuckle. However, the caliper, caliper bracket, pads and rotor need to be removed to remove the hub from the knuckle, all of which use 14mm bolts in this application.
Caution is to be taken when reinstalling the hub into the knuckle face that is clean and free of any dirt or debris that could damage or obscure the ABS sensor.
The parts in this video is a Mevotech BXT Bearing that is a direct OEM equivalent bearing that bolts straight up to where the old one was removed. There is no press required for these style of hubs.
This video demonstrates the procedure on a 2005 Acura TSX, but is similar to many Honda and Acura FWD vehicles such as the Honda Accord, Civic, odyssey, CR-V, Passport, Pilot, TLX, RDX, MDX, RSX and ILX.
