    Greetings, After my complaint last december an honest mechanic advised
    front berings need replacing on my 92 civic DK hatchback. I have no $
    so have put it off. It has 316,000Km and when i removed the front weels
    a few weeks ago only the front driver weel has a space when I grab the
    top and bottom and wiggle it, (also when i grab it from either side).
    Also the grinding as I drive is pretty bad. My Haynes manual has only
    info on rear bearings.

    I gess I need a hydrolic press? Something about the Hub? Take it to
    a shop?
    Use heat to remove?

    I have no idea how to do this but feal I could provided i had diagrame
    / info.
    Help, i need it to go to work every day.

    Sicerely, Peter

    an hydraulic press is required. if you don't already own one, you'll
    need to take the knuckle to someone that does - and you need a ball
    joint separator. unless you do a lot of your own car stuff and don't
    mind investing in the tools, this is one job to consider having done by
    a pro.
