On this episode I show you how to replace your front wheel bearing on your 2006 to 2011 Honda Civic. The procedure involves removing the brakes and pressing the old bearing out of the knuckle and pressing the new one into the knuckle. The only way to remove the bearing on the vehicle is with a couple special tools that I go over how to use in the video. I would estimate probably 3 to 4 hours to replace these bearings if you’re not familiar with the procedure.
Here are the parts and tools you will need to replace your Honda Civic’s wheel bearing:

In a pinch if you couldn't get your hands on a slide hammer, could you use an air hammer from the rear of the hub to get it off?
This method sure didn't work on my 2007 Honda Odyssey, :). I ended up removing the knuckle, then at 9 tons pressure in my press, the bearing wouldn't budge ! I had to hit with a sledge hammer to un-jar it. Then it came out in the press. I knew I should've listen to my wife and just taken it to the dealer…….lol.
Great video, it help me with my 2013 Civic.
Would you need an alignment after removing the strut bolts
does the bearing seat itself on a shoulder on the back side of the knuckle or bearing bottoms out on plate of bearing tool plate
great video but the set up to remove the bearing was wrong that's why he cuts the video
Thank you for sharing this video, Great work. Ever since I replaced my front right bearing with this method. My cv shaft has excessive play which cause clunking and also abs light is goes on.
What I feel is the use of slide hammer may misaligned camber or toe angle.
Thank you very much
My 2011 Civic needs new wheel bearings. Any idea what a fair repair estimate is?
Are some bearings actually inside the hub? So replacing the hub will replace the bearing? Or does it depend on the car?
Really cool video to know how to use a wheel bearing tool. Do you think for any car should be the same prrocces ? Thanks so much.
What a fantastic video. Sure wish you were close. At 72, I am getting old for this and sure would be nice to have someone you trust.. I replaced both rear hub bearings on my 2007 2dr Civic EX with 177K on it ( my student's car). Back right was totaling failing when I caught it. Then you could hear right rear in turns. It was rough. Replaced the two compensating bushings in the lower front control arm. Backside under was torn That stopped a clunk in bumps that I thought was top strut mount going bad. Now with all tight when you turn and let the steering wheel spin back, you can fill a shutter bump fill in steering wheel and a pretty noticeable howl as you pull out driving along straight. One axle is new. Other fills good. Hard to believe boots are still good. (My 85 and 93 failed at 80K. Even the one I replaced was still good till a shyster stuck it with a scribe down in the bottom of the V at the Honda dealer at state inspection. Years ago the boots were about $40. Now it's cheaper to put in a new axle and sure lot less messy.
I guess the only true way to check is to take the axle out unless the bearing is failing loose.
My question have you ever seen one go past 180K and be OK? Could my howl be in automatic transmission? It fills and shifts great. I have always used 3 quarts of synthetic Honda fluid in it ever 3rd motor oil change
