How hard is it to change the wheel bearings on a 1996 Integra?
« on: June 16, 2005, 12:13:01 pm »
My Integra is making some noise in the front and I think it is the wheel bearing, how hard is it to change, are they pressed in? Is it a shop job?  Thanks for the help.

Depends on how seized in it is.  The driver's side is usually worse because the road salt hits that wheel the most.  It is a 10 year old car driven in salt I assume.  It can be a maddening experience.  You most likely will need an air powered chisel.  NTN bearings are OEM for that vehicle.

But before you jump onto that have you lifted the wheel off the ground and inspected the wheel bearing for wobble and sound?  Could be a CV joint.  Could be a lot of things.
