This is what I'm hoping will fix by annoying noise.

 

Thanks for this write up as I will be changing my driver front bearing soon

 

ok so I changed my hub assembly... Do I need to grease the part that sticks in the hole... reason I am asking is because now when I brake it gives off a whinding down noise

 

Are you talking about applying grease to the axle stub that rests inside of the hub? Not mandatory, but I've done it on my Hondas.

 

anyone has a clue how is the torque for the main hub bolts? There is 4 bolts I believe.

Thank you brother.

I need to change mine soon.

Please guys share your experience here what part of the job needs special attention. Appreciate any advices. Thank you

 

Hardest part for me was after removing the four bolts and sensor plug was separating the hub from the knuckle arm. I had to use a wedge and a small sledge hammer to pound it out. I was hitting it so hard thought I was going to break something. Maybe spray some WD40 in there and let it sit for a hour or so before trying to separate them.

 

ok so i change mine and everything is good except for when i slow down now.. i get a roaring when braking to slow my speed... please tell me the hub didnt go bad that fast?

 

^How many miles on that new bearing? Maybe it'll "break-in"?

 

I would say it has something to do with your brakes rather than your bearing and hub. If you put a bad bearing you would notice that right away it will noise from speeds 50-60 up. Check your rotors and pads one more time and check if your caliper and caliper bracket were installed correctly. Did you put a grease on the caliper pins? You know they have to move eaisly.
One more a new bearing doesn't need to be break in. It has to be good from the very first minute of use.

 

Did you put the dust cover back on? Although it's only a couple mm thick this could cause a misalignment problem between the caliper-brake pads and rotor. If you did put it on check to see if any part of it is too close to the rotors... it may be rubbing.

 

Also did you put your brake pads back in the exact same places (assuming you reused your pads). The pads will wear to the rotor and if you flip positions they may make some noise due to the differences in wear patterns. The more you use them it should go away though.

 

So.. I have a question for the rear wheel hub assembly I'm about to change mine next week is there a sensor in the rear hub? Can I re use old one if so and where is it located if so.. Any advice would be great cannot find nothing on rear for 2nd generation. Thanks

Also Torque specs... please help :/

 

As a lifetime shadtree mechanic and former parts counter monkey, my money goes to Timken for bearings. Rockauto.com (Google for the ever-present 5% off coupon code) or get the part number for the bearing off Rockauto and look on Amazon. I'm a Amazon Prime subscriber so I get free 2 day shipping (awesome deal for brake rotors as they're so heavy) and the parts are about the same price as Rockauto once you figure the Rockauto shipping plus Amazon has it to me in less than 2 days usually.
