You can get these http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-09-HONDA-...58f6be&vxp=mtr

They're the OEM bearings but without the Honda mark-up.

PS. here are my old hubs and bearings

Is the TSB necessary for all years? According to Honda, it is not applicable to my 2006.

Thanks for the ebay link to OEM bearings. I save 50% off compared to buying them from Majestic Honda. Do you have a link for OEM hubs as well?

Your bearings and hubs will look like this if you don't

I just finished. The left rear wheel nut came loose very easily. It took just a little pressure on my breaker bar. I had to use a pipe to get right loose. I like how easy this car is to work on.

I have some of this left over from swapping the axle cups.. could I use this grease in under the axle nut?

That stuff should be fine. You just need to put a little bit on your finger and just put a thin film on the back side of the nut. Your not trying to coat all the treads and shit. The purpose is so when you tighten it at that torque it is nice and smooth until you get it at the +60 degree mark.

The manual says nothing about using grease, it won't hurt to grease the splines of the axle shaft, but for the nut itself a light coat of oil is all you need, just like you lube up the seal on the oil filter before you put it on.

Should I use PB Blaster on the nut to get it off? I couldn't unstake it and I had me and a buddy go at it with a breaker bar and a 2' cheater pipe and we ended up bending the breaker bar!

Get a big breaker bar. I got a 3/4" drive 4' one, proto tool, cost me $70 but that baby makes short work of ANY fastener on this car. Crank pulley bolts, axle nuts, with the right reducer you can use it on every bolt and break half of them.
