I've searched the forum and read about the issues people have with the bearings and tire noise. I'm pretty confident the noise coming from the rear right is a bad bearing. From my forum and internet searches, I haven't found a clear instructional about the process and parts.
Here is my question: Can I replace the hub assembly without messing with the bearing? Or do I need to get a press (or the harbor freight bearing tools)?
This diagram shows the hub and bearing. I assume that the hub assembly would include the bearing already pressed in, but the prices don't seem to reflect that (the bearing is more expensive than the hub.
Hub assembly: part # 42210-S3V-A10 cost $71.48
Bearing: part # 44300-S3V-A61 cost: $86.61
This post implies that the bearing can be removed and pressed back in without removing the knuckle with some harbor freight tools. I'm not sure it would be worth it, but I'm guessing a shop would charge me about $600 to replace both rear bearings.
Rockauto has this part listed as a fit for the 06 rear, but the price ($44.79) makes me think it does not include the bearing.
I need to install new rotors and pads, and was hoping to get it all done at the same time.
Has anyone replaced the rear bearings? If so, how difficult was it?
Thanks for you help.
