Okay so I am in the process of changing all my wheel studs because in 2 sides of my wheels I had a missing lug studs. So I decided to replace all 4 sides with fresh arp lug studs. I removed all 4 sides (wheel knuckles) I bought the harbor freight 12 ton press I was able to remove the wheel hub and the wheel bearing, I was able to install the wheel bearing correctly then installing the c clip, but for my front left side when installing the wheel hub it was going uneven but kind of corrected it and placed it as straight as possible when I noticed it had pushed the inner race out so I pressed it back in without any problem, so my question is should I have to replace the wheel bearing again even thou is a brand new oem wheel bearing since its suppose to be a closed sealed bearing and the inner race came apart and I pressed it back on due to my rookie first timer, costly mistake because the wheel hub was pressed in at an angle?

need help I do not want to mess up the rears!!!!!!

 

long story short I pressed the wheel hub at an angle when It was fully seated I turned over the knuckle to see that the inner race came apart I then pressed it back in should I replace the front wheel bearing again or should I just risk it and hope for the best

 

Any photos of the current state of the replacement parts?


Thanks!

 

I have seen some be OK after pressing inner race back in. Usually takes a feel for it as you can press it back in to far. Your call. Worste is gonna happen is you have noise and do the job again.

With the bearings. When actually installing bearing in knuckle always press on bearing outer race. Best way is to just use old bearing as your die/cup. When installing hub in bearing always support inner race on back side.

 

^^^ exactly right. I would be tempted to use it rather than wait on a new bearing to get on the road. as said above the old bearing is key to pressing the new if you don't have specialty Honda tools.

 

That's how they show how to do it in the Honda service manual.
IOW the old bearing IS the specialty tool

 

Updated with pics!!! So these are the 2 fronts

 

Seems ok. Is the bearing spinning freely?

 

Yes spinning freely ... Update did the rears without the inner race coming apart from the hub, by supporting the inside ring along with the knuckles
