The front suspension was in need of repair. I do not know the history of the parts and with 370,000 miles on the chassis, some of those may have never been replaced. You will need a few specialized tools to complete this by hand, most importantly would be the electric impact gun (or air compressed gun), the threaded stock, nuts, and washers. You may try to use a ratchet to get the bearing and hub back in but that seems like it would take quite a while and be tiring.
All of the parts were purchased off of ebay, including the ARP wheels studs. Most of them were pretty inexpensive. I have used ebay wheel bearings, tie rods, ball joints, and pads and rotors for years now and have never had an issue with premature failure.

hell yeah! that was great! i never would have thought of that trick with the impact. i need to do my drivers side front bearing. now i feel better about it
Dude I’m lost with this wheel bearing ordeal! I bought a set of 89 crx si knuckles for my D16a6 swap into my std hatch. Now every time I’ve ordered front wheel bearings for these knuckles, they’re ending up to be too small as if they’re for the dx and std models. I’ve ordered from eBay and rockauto for the 1.6 Si model and both companies sent the same wheel bearings I had which are incorrect. I’m really at a stand still and kinda stumped. Do you have a part number for any wheel bearings from a crx si? I can’t seem to get the correct one for these knuckles.

What size threaded stock do you use?
THIS BLOKE IS A LEGEND LOVE HIS CHANNEL
wao super great work and explained all new parts
man you really need a parts washer, makes me cringe see you assemble all those fresh parts with dirty crusty original parts
Damn Jon you made it look so easy lol I like that trick you did with the washers and the big threaded bolt. Never seen that technique.
What springs and struts there are on wagovan?!
Update of the wagon coming soon i hope
Do I have to find these part as wagon specific? Or can I just search for 88-91 Civic?
What brand are those new brake pads and what kind brand lower balljoint you use, i feel like going for ebay or autozone
So I know its not normal thing to do but on my 85 civic shuttle is it possible to lift it a bit it scrapes going down my dirt driveway? hell I thought my 83 Mercedes 240D was low!
Have any EF parts you're giving away or selling?
Can you make a video on Pci upper spherical camber arms ?
you should make a video of you rebuilding the calipers. i just picked up ex brakes after watching one of you videos and i cant get the piston out of the caliper because i don't have air tools.
Anyone that drive Honda have to learn this
have you ever had any probs/ damage from installing ball joints with a hammer, like being stiff afterwards?
Where do you get your torque specs from online?
Great video man! Probably the best way to do it on you're drive way without a press!!
This is simply the best video for doing this job. Thanks for making it man!
When u hammered the ball joint in did it leave any damage on top of the ball joint I am about to do that way
man this is awesome this satisfied me. Great work!
Awesome thanks! I needed some help trying to get my new rotors on!
Hey man can you send the link for these rotors and pads? My EK needs replaced rotors and pads, do you still recommend these?
