[Hondapawa]

Ok guys i need to do this job today or tomorrow... I've bought 2 rotors and 2 bearings. My bearing are bad and i want to replace them, should i buy 2 new hubs and get the bearings pressed onto the hubs or should i keep the old hubs and remove them to put them back on the new bearings??? Are hubs really expensive?

Bearings are what caused me alot of headache. Here was my situation and hopefully it doesnt happen to you. Wheel bearings went bad both side. So i bought new ones, then i got them pressed off and the hub that the wheel bearing spins on i believe, had little pockets/grooves/holes. Everything you wouldnt want your new wheel bearing rubbing on. So check out your old hubs if they look smooth keep them if not then youde have to replace it or else your new bearings are going to go to shit.

oh no the rear rotors are a cinch to do. They're Rotor over hub, so the most work you'd have to do to get them off is to undo 2 phillips head screws and take the caliper off, thats it, then they slide right off the hub.

thank god, i just did all 4 of my brothers 93 integra and took about an hour, quick question do i need to remove the axel to take the 4 12point bolt out? i have removing ball joints and i would love if i didnt have to

Ok thanks i'll look at it when i get them pressed off or i'll just call tomorow to get price for new hubs to get pressed on my new bearings. Thanks a lot.

yeah i think you do. The axle has a ring, well on mine anyways, for ABS that kinda obscures a way to put a 12pt socket on there. It'd be way easier to just remove the axle and just slide it out of the way, you don't necessarily need to take it out completely, just need to get it out of the hub.

Putting the Longer bolts in to push the hub assem out is a HUGE tip!

Question.... I got an extra pair of spindles with good rotors and bearing but with no abs of a lx, I got a ex with abs, sooo what would I need to do to swap spindles? my rotors and bearings are shot!

The ABS will stay on your axles. since you're not swapping those, the spindles won't matter. All you have to do is remove the upper, lower and tierod balljoints, then undo the 36mm axle nut and remove the brake caliper assembly from your current spindle and put it on the new LX spindles you have.

But isn't there a speed sensor or something? All i remember seeing was two lines, on my car, and only one on these spindles..
