Can anyone point me to a front wheel bearing DIY (with pics)? I did a search and found a couple different threads but not too clear however.
Can I get a new hub with bearings pressed in already? Guess that would be easier.

Buy the entire hub and press that into the knuckle. Eric the car guy has a great DIY video on this. http://www.ericthecarguy.com/videos/?tubepress_page=4

Im guessing Accord R&R is the same as Civic R&R.

Pretty much, it will get you through the job. I watched the video before I did one of my wheel bearings (01 ex) and it was almost an identical job. You will need a press or access to one to get that hub out. Or you can try to smack it out with something like Eric uses but I have a press so... Good luck!

Let me just revive this thread and just share my experience with wheel bearing. Several DIY's I found indicated using OEM Honda wheel bearing. Of course I decided to cheap out on it and bought a $46 bearing from Pepboys. Its making noise on slight turns now after about a month. Right now I might just look for a used knuckle to put in.

i wasted time and $ by mistakenly buying a hub online..i thought that the bearing was already pressed into the hub from the factory..it was not....the FRONT wheel bearing is sols separately from the hub (at least on a 2001 LX)

They are called "ATE" sold by Canadian Tire obviously in Canada... They work awesome.. grip much better than OEM. I'm just kinda trying them out because I got a great price on them:
