You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

Nice video, doing mine right now.
Using a grinder on the bearing race and a chisel to get it off wasn't too bad at all. I wanted to replace them with OEM honda bearings without buying new hubs.

[@jackhfletcher]

That works too! If your hubs are in good shape then there’s nothing wrong with that. Thanks for watching!

12 days ago?? Just in time. Thanks for the video, I may just bite the bullet and pay someone to do it hahah

[@jackhfletcher]

Yeah! It can be a lot to do at home especially without a press and all the adaptors and such.

Interesting, I have a 2008 TSX, which I thought was a dressed up civic. But my front end doesn’t look anything like that.

[@jackhfletcher]

I think the TSX is closer to an Accord than a Civic.

Unless you buy the whole steering knuckle and bearing assembly it's way easier!😅🤷

[@jackhfletcher]

A little overkill… but yes, it would make the job easier!

[@RubberSideDown2]

About to do mine and yep! Buying the whole assembly is a ton easier, and it's practically a plug and play compared to disassembly all that. Definitely worth the extra money. Not much more really. "Time is money"
