Wheel Bearing?

[pattywak]

Thanks for the link. Searching that site gave me this:
http://www.am-autoparts.com/AM/Hub-And-Bearing-Kit/Honda/Accord/1998/AM-29179183/

Is this the piece that I needed? I have also found the hub and the bearing seperately for sale. Do I just need the bearing or do I need to replace the hub also at the same time?

you can replace just the bearing if you prefer, but i went ahead and replaced both just to be safe.
But if it is definitely the bearing that is bad, then yes. That is the part you want to get.

Would it be easier to replace both? Like how for an axle its easier to replace the whole axle rather than repacking the axle with grease and putting a new boot in?

Yea, the bearing wouldn't have to be pressed into it if you bought the whole assembly. You'd save a lot more time and money.

Alright, thanks for that. That is probably what I'm going to do to make installation simpler.

Wordz. Good luck with it!

So the bearing and the hub are already put together if I buy from that link? I'm just making sure since they are pictured separately.

Well, I just got mine in the mail and the bearing was definitely not already pressed into the hub, here are some pics:

So this just means I have to add the step of having the bearing pressed onto the hub, right? Can I rent the tools necessary from a parts store?

Get the bearing pressed in at a shop... too easy to **** up the bearing races DIY'ing it.
