    Wheel bearing Advice needed.

    My driver's side wheel bearing is going bad. I thought I would be doing the ROH but it seems the deal has fell through. So I don't have the money to do the conversion with new parts. So I was thinking of keep the capture rotors as I don't think mine is that bad to take off.
    The advice I need is if my driver's side is bad, should I do just that side or go ahead and replace both sides?
    I found a bearing already pressed on the hub on Ebay for $60. This is the best I think as the bearing alone is $40 and the shop probably wants more than $20 to press the bearing in.
    Any one here actually used this type of setup with Ebay bearing already pressed in the hub and last more than a year?
    I have recently tested the suspected bearing and no play when tugging on the wheel. But I think it's going so it's a matter of time. I don't want to drive it too much before repairing it.
    I just got my car broken into and stole my amps and sub. Lucky my touch screen was not stolen. So I need to save up for my music. It's not a good time as I have been unemployed for almost a year now.
    Thanks.

      Just do the side that's bad. If you're doing the work yourself, do the other side when it goes bad. Mine went a year apart, so it isn't necessarily an instant thing.
      I have no experience with your eBay bearings. I usually recommend Timken.
      Do you have a link for your eBay bearings?

        Is it possible to press the bearing out and in without the hydraulic press?
        Ebay bearing.
        I found a pair for $75, here.
        I think they are from the same place.

        I have a 2nd option and that is a near by member is selling both front sides, including the knuckles with used bearings of around 30,000 miles already on them. I know it would be easier but the rotors need surfacing. To remove the rotors, I just need to remove the 4 bolts right?

        Which option would you guys take?

        Thanks.

          With longer studs, do I need a spacer? How much longer is it? My bolts are OEM and would they be long enough for the longer studs? If I replace one side, would the longer studs from one side effects my ride?
          Thanks.

            i got them both for 65, you should look deeper. And for pulling the hub although its practiced, its a sealed bearing and can be damaged by the layman attempting this..500 miles and still riding like butter on a cob of corn..and Ive been thrashin it

              Do you mean 65 for bearings or bearings/hubs pressed on already? Where did you buy them from? If Ebay, which seller?
              As for pulling the bearing, if it's already bad, why worry about it being damaged? Or did you mean the hub?
              Thanks.

                    Pressing it in incorrectly could mess up the new bearing.. I dunno Im the kind of person not to mix and match old with new, especially when its a wearable item like the hub..if it got over heated or scored from the old worn bearing..know what I mean

                      So they raised the price up in just a few months. $5 could get me a gallon of gas. Lol.
                      illinois_erik, could you list the steps of what you did? I would imagine it was easier without having the press the bearings out and in.
                      Lots of work ahead for me. First I got the get the alarm system in, then the bearings, then my replacement sound system.
                      I thought about claiming the insurance but every one advice me against claiming the theft as they pay out now, but raise the rate later. The raised rate will be for life.
                      Lucky, I got some spare stuffs for my replacement when I was working. All I need now is a good 4 channel for my mids and highs. I like the US Acoustics stuffs. Cheap and sounds real good.

                      Thanks.

                        Go ahead and use that discount code on the sheet I scanned. As for swapping bearings, pretty straight forward its just the other things that can be tedious make it a PITA. Just make sure you have a 12 point 10mm socket for the 4 bolts holding the bearing to the knuckle and a umm 32mm for the axle nut..Instead of typing out a book heres a video that I prepped with.


                        If you do wind up getting the hub/bearing assemblies itll be cake, just omit the part of the video where he's beating them apart. GL



                        check out his other videos, very insightful. Plus he's a certified honda mechanic..or was

                          I think it's a 36mm axle socket right? Not 32mm.

                          The coupon code says: "Incorrect or expired discount coupon or gift certificate."

                            I wonder why don't they have this type of setup, bearing/hub, for the 97-99 Acura CL?
