What are the numbers of the pieces in the set to assemble to install the wheel hub . Thanks

Took my 13' Civic for an alignment but they couldn't do it because the front driver side bearing was bad. They said it wobbled so it messed with the lasers. They gave me an estimate of about $366 ($120/hr x 2hrs for labor, plus $80 for alignment, plus parts). I always wished I had a garage to work on my car and learn to fix things as I go, now even more so.

My tip I can offer is an easy way to determine which bearing is your culprit is while your driving at speed making the noise, sway back and forth left and right in the lane. One way will put the weight onto the bad bearing, not changing the noise or even making it sound worse, while the other way will take the weight off the bad bearing, lessening the noise. Unless you have 2 bad bearings.....lol. Then it probably sounds like straight up a jet engine at 50+mph 😂

Seeing a bunch of Hondas being worked on at a Honda service center is completely normal. If you went to a Ford service center, you'd see it packed with mostly Ford vehicles.

I would have normally purchased an OEM Honda bearing (part #: 44300-TR0-951 for 2011-2015 Civic) but, since it failed earlier than I thought it should have, I decided to roll the dice and buy the bearing locally. The bearing I got was National Bearing 510089, which can be picked up at any of the auto parts chain stores.

There are a few things you didnt explain. Why did you put the bearing in the freezer? Secondly, what is the brand of that hub removal tool, and third what in what order you set up the spacer, plate, etc to remove bearing, any measurements you see printed on the tool to choose the right one when doing this job? Also, something was sticking out into the nuckle, was that the speed sensor? This video is missing a lot of things to make removal and installation much easier. I would rather remove knuckle and take it to a shop, have them install bearing, then I will do the rest.

@Mikeattempts

Putting the bearing in the freezer overnight causes it to contract ever so slightly to make installation easier. There's a link to the removal tool in the video description, the brand is EverTough. I showed the order of the spacers I used but I didn't go into detail since this tool can be used on many different makes and models of vehicles. The instructions provide everything you need to know to setup the tool for your vehicle. The ABS speed sensor is what I removed before the hub. Yep, you could take the knuckle to a shop or you could buy a whole new knuckle assembly with a new bearing already installed.

Isn't it easier to replace the whole assembly rather then press in a new bearing?

For a smaller bearing, you would only want metal on metal so there's no chance the outside could spin. These bearings are so wide that I think it's probably fine to add grease or anti-seize to assist with installation. I put my new bearing in the freezer overnight and smeared on a thin layer of grease before pressing it in.

@Rayden440

I've changed bearings from small ones like the Honda here all the way up to the tapered roller bearings found in the wheel end of class 8 tractors. The bearing cup is meant to be an interference fit. When you press it in, any grease or lubricant you use will be wiped right off as you press. The easiest way to get them on is to freeze the bearing and put the hub in the oven or a hot water bath (using a torch can cause the hub to warp because of uneven heating).

Good job

Hello, within the last year we changed my front wheel bearings on a 2013 Honda Civic. After that several warning lights and several messages on my dash display like: Check brake system, Check ABS, and Check VSA. What could be causing this? A damaged speed sensor?

I'm definitely no pro but I guess it could be a damaged ABS speed sensor. However, did you make sure to put the magnetic side of the bearing toward the inside?

If the problem is a front tire and the vehicle is front wheel drive then the tire wouldn't spin when it's in park. It would be best to turn the car off and put it on jack stands. Then, with the car in neutral and the e-brake off, you should be able to spin the wheel.

I have heard that when you transport a car on a trailer that you want to pull down on the frame and compress the shocks so the car can’t bounce. You will often see cars with only the tires strapped down and the car bouncing with the shocks. It was explained to me that when a car drives normal that the wheel and wheel bearing are spinning so the bearings aren’t hitting in exactly the same place, like when on a trailer the wheel is stopped, so if the car bounces the bearings are hitting in exactly the same spot far too many times. This may be what happened to your car?
