Honda Accord: Front Wheel Bearing Press In Style

In this video I bring you along the process of changing out the front wheel bearing on a Honda Accord. These are press in and require a few special tools but can easily be done at home. -Enjoy!

Never gets old watching a master at his craft.

You know you are having a good day when the hardest part of the job is removing a cotter pin.

[ghettsumm]

That bearing swap had to be some kind of record time.!!!
Wow! Impressive

[vonJaerschky]

When he took that punch and made sure the snap ring was properly seated....I cried a little. It was so beautiful.

[XCumminsPower]

I’ve done a bunch of Honda front bearings and never not once has it gone that smoothly. Hats off to you brother

[parteibonza]

Love it. As Watch Wes Work says, always spend a little extra time to be nice to the next guy, because most of the time it's gonna be YOU. 😂

Again..can't get enough of how you handle vehicles in the rust belt. You ain't just a mechanic you're a magician

Found Eric O about 6 months ago and have run through all his videos and now find myself in withdrawal. I am not a car mechanic but am fascinated by the complexity of his diagnostic procedures combines with the sarcastic wit mix in the repairs! Please make more videos! As a retired cop I find your automotive prowess interesting and entertaining! I also appreciate Mrs. O's attempts to keep your culinary habits in check as most of the tow / mechanics I dealt with preferred the high fat / caffeine diet we coppers enjoyed with predictable results!! I have found others in YouTubeland who mimic and some who even make reference to SMA but all hail to the king!!

Just one of the many things I appreciate about Eric's videos, is he puts the make and model in the title. Even though I enjoy watching all of the videos, I'm a diy'er, only have a couple of cars, and when I want to repair something, it's nice to be able to search for videos about that make and model. Some of the other guys just list the video as "how to replace a water pump". But that's minimally helpful unless it's pretty close to the same car you have, and there's no way to tell without watching the first bit of it. Not efficient. Thanks again Eric.

[MichaelSteeves]

I watch these not so that I can do it myself, but so that I can be an informed consumer and appreciate the knowledge and tool collection that my mechanic has!

[Ikantspell]

Amazing how fast eric gets these parts to do what he wants. Things move way faster in his shop than they do under my shade tree. I need me a lift and some fancy tools and zillions of hours of experience so I can be that good. Trust me if I tried to record me doing this job and showing you I'd have to edit 10 hours of footage down to about 2 hours.

[howardscott]

I just spent two minutes of my life watching a guy fighting with a cotter key, and loved every second of it! lol...

[weird]

That pull kit sure makes this a quick job no alignment or anything needed so much better than using a press!

[davidplayz]

I worked in industrial maintenance for 40+ years and when we had those press in bearings we would put the bearing in our blast freezer(frozen food factory) for about 3 hours are so and the bearing would slide in real nice saved us many heart aches!

[zupmeoff]

The Cotter pin was the hardest part of the job

[darkdelta]

Thanks for posting, watching a craftsman pulling wrenches, never gets old.

[fscottgray]

Love his straight forward to the point mechanic videos. He also points out things not to during different times of the repair.

[chrispeoples]

Well I learned today you dont need a hydraulic press to change a pressed bearing great video

[bkschieler]

The old bob's your uncle derivations never get old. i have been advised, though, not to use it around my house anymore, I wore it out.

[jamesbristow]

Man, last time I did a press in bearing I had an upright press and pulled the whole knuckle. Didn't even consider grabbing that style kit from the parts stores. I believe I even used a cutoff wheel on the inner race. Thank your Mee-Maw for me, next one I do will go faster.
