Front Wheel Bearing Replacement

Anyone have experience replacing a front wheel bearing on a 2009 Civic LX? I tried the other day and realized they sell the wheel bearings and hub assemblies separately and require a pneumatic press to put together. Any chance someone sells these pre-assembled anyone online? I got a friend with a press who might be able to press them together, but it's kind of a pain in the ***.

Re: Front Wheel Bearing Replacement

It can be done with with just a hammer and properly sized sockets to beat against and support with. Using a press is much much easier if you have all the items required to properly support the knuckle. The only way to get 1 that is preassembled is to get a complete knuckle with the hub already installed in it.

I purchased a pulled one (6th gen) from a junkyard and installed it 30k miles ago. $35 part.

Junk yard, friends press or take it to a local shop who should just charge a small fee to press out the old and in the new.
