Rear Knuckle, Hub and Bearing Removal/Replacement
#71
When you pull the hub from the knuckle, you will trash the bearing. At that point you will see if you need to replace the hub of not. At that point you can order the part at that point. Most if not all Honda dealers are now on a flash ordering system for parts. Your today, get it tommorow.

Just a note, a very thing film of AS on the first couple threads is sufficient, it will smear. The place you do not want as is near the head/seat of the nut, that will screw up the torque readings, and allow the nut to come off..

what is AS, and by "oil" do you mean motor oil?
oil = petroleum-based lubricant
I'd use a thin coat of AS.

I just wanted to add that I puchased a KD Tools Universal Ball Joint Separator for about 20 dollars that worked very well. I was a little leery of getting a cheap one but it performed well. I was also able to use it to pop the control arm out instead of removing the adjustment bolt. This seemed better because I didn't have to worry about changing the alignment. Does anyone know why it was suggested to remove the control arm?
