WARNING: This procedure REQUIRES the use of special tools or equivalent. A hydraulic press, punches of the correct diameters, and a support are required to disassemble the hub and bearing. (Special tool numbers shown are specific to Honda)
1. Pull the lock key out of the spindle, then loosen the nut. Loosen the wheel nuts slightly.
2. Raise and securely support the vehicle. Remove the front wheel and spindle nut.
3. After unscrewing the brake caliper mounting bolts, remove the caliper from the knuckle. Do not leave the caliper hanging on the brake hose, but secure it with a wire.
4. Remove the brake disc mounting bolts (if any). Screw two 8x1.25x12mm bolts into the brake disc removal holes and tighten them to push the disc off the hub.
Tighten each bolt only 2 turns at a time to avoid warping and binding of the disc.
5. Remove the tie rod from the knuckle using the tie rod end removal tool. Be careful not to damage the ball joint seals.
6. Remove the cotter pin from the lower arm ball joint and remove the castle nut.
7. Remove the lower arm from the knuckle using a ball joint puller.
8. Loosen the locking bolt holding the strut to the knuckle. Tap the top of the knuckle with a hammer to disengage it from the shock absorber.
9. Remove the knuckle and hub, if still attached, by sliding the assembly off the drive shaft.
10. Remove the hub from the knuckle using a suitable punch and hydraulic press.
Removal the bearing
11. Remove the mud shield and snap ring, then remove the outer bearing.
12. Turn the joint over and remove the inner, dust seal, bearing and inner ring.
13. Press the outer bearing ring out of the knuckle using the appropriate special tool and a hydraulic press.
14. Using a bearing puller, remove the inner race of the outer bearing from the hub.
15. Remove the outer dust seal from the hub.
Whenever wheel bearings are removed, they must be replaced with new sets of bearings and outer dust seals.
16. Clean all old grease from drive shafts and spindles.
17. Remove all old grease from the hub and knuckle, dry completely and wipe all components clean.
18. When assembling new bearings, you must use special grease for wheel bearings.
19. Apply a moderate amount of lubricant to the inside surfaces of the rotor and hub (do not overfill the hub with grease).
20. Before installation, apply a small amount of lubricant to the spindle and the lip of the inner seal.
21. To install the bearings, press the outer bearing race into the knuckle using the special tools (used above, plus the base of the puller). Do not exceed 2.5 tons of pressure.
22. Install the outer ball bearing and its inner race into the knuckle.
23. Install the retaining ring. Lubricate the grooves around the outer dust seal lip.
24. Press the seal into the knuckle using a seal punch and hammer until it is flush with the knuckle surface.
25. Install the mudguard, then turn the knuckle upside down and install the inner ball bearing and its inner race.
26. Place the hub in the press holder; place your fist in the press and press down. Do not exceed 2 tons of pressure during installation.
27. Fill the grooves around the inner dust cover with grease.
28. Use a seal punch to seat the seal into the knuckle.
29. Install the knuckle. Always use a new spindle nut on the end of the drive shaft. Tighten the spindle nut securely. After lowering the vehicle onto the wheels, tighten the spindle nut to 190 Nm.
