Honda Accord Rear Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly Replacement 2012 (2008-2012 Similar)

Honda Accord Rear Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly Replacement. In this video I show how I remove and replace the rear wheel bearing and hub assembly on a Honda Accord. You can usually tell when there is a bad wheel bearing because it will make a lot of noise. The exact vehicle in this video is a 2012 Honda Accord SE Sedan. 2008-2012 Accords should be similar. Enjoy!

[@omarhadi2133]

Are you base in Phoenix? How much is cost? I do have that roaring but honestly I’m not able to determine which side or front or rear

[@FLAMEKING2341]

the quality and ease of explanation of this vehicle makes this a breeeze thank you for your help

[@pvvillemar1]

My husband has been fixing cars for many years, and he said the quality of video was excellent, the technical information was explained well, and included specific tools, tips (like part #) & tricks. He was impressed, and I will add that my husband is not easily impressed.

[@BigDog50001]

Tell him thanks, I appreciate the comment!

[@1111uuuuu]

Wow, that's got to be the Safest, most Practical, and Informative Auto Video I've seen! Thanks much, Be Blessed Sir!

[@BigDog50001]

Thank you, I appreciate the comment!

[@bennyboy2234]

I feel that I can change my wheel bearings with more confidence after watching your video. Great detail and explanation on how to do everything!

[@BigDog50001]

I appreciate the comment, thank you!

[@Geese17]

Literally the best mechanic video I've ever seen, definitely looking for this channel for more info

[@Forrest1137]

This is one of the most comprehensive in-depth videos I've seen for doing work on this generation accord. God bless you sir.

[@BigDog50001]

👍

[@lobssangmarrero4781]

This is an exceptional video. Well explained detailed clear and very informative. Has to be one of the best instructional videos in KZbin! Your are a professional sir!

[@terrenceg3257]

Very thorough. A1

[@rekordi]

Superb vidjeo. Just missing all the rust that makes the job so much more interesting.

[@boots7859]

I like it when the first thing a mechanic does it take the lug nuts of in the same order they are supposed to go on. Makes me confident he actually knows what he's doing.

[@BigDog50001]

I appreciate the comment, thank you!

[@restlessjack0042]

Once again, very high quality and nicely detailed video...just how it should be! This is my favourite autorepair channel right now! Thanks BigDog!

[@BigDog50001]

There are a lot of great auto repair channels out there so that is very high praise, thank you for the comment!

[@restlessjack0042]

Big Dog50001 Automotive True, but their attention to detail is not at your level. Keep it up!

[@richardfabrizio8998]

Such quality workmanship and instructions. Much appreciated.

[@BigDog50001]

I appreciate the comment, thanks!

[@Robinhood179]

Great video! Replaced both of the bearings in the back of 09 Accord. I didnt have to undue the parking break though, may be a little harder to get out and in but I didnt want to mess it up. Thanks again.

[@h4l121]

Nicely done! You make that look so easy!

[@BigDog50001]

Thanks!

[@Forrest1137]

I just watched this video a few hours ago and I just completed swapping out my hub bearing. You sir just saved me $150 in labor in not paying someone else to do it. It was simple and now I don't have that roaring coming from my rear end. Lol

[@BigDog50001]

Glad it was helpful, thank you for the comment!

[@hamishpatel74]

[@AbdullahAwamleh]

Excellent video. Thanks for all the helpful details. Good camera work as well. I looked through 4 or 5 videos and this is the best by far.

[@BigDog50001]

I appreciate the comment, thank you!

[@wyattoneable]

You do a great job with the explanation and camera angles. I like "plan B'. Here in Tn we have some rust but nothing like those poor guys in the Northeast. I grew up in Southern California and worked on cars for extra money. I didn't realize how good we had it.

[@BigDog50001]

I grew up in the Chicago area, I do NOT miss rust one bit! Thanks for the input Wyatt!

[@trankt54155]

I wish all my vehicles have a bottom like that and that would take all the sorrow and unhappiness out of the repair. I envy your car.

Thank you, I appreciate the comment!

[@Lau2xLeap]

2 years later this was fantastic video, very helpful and informative....with the EXCEPTION of the screws in the front and the tool used...No way false advertisement....almost all cars got them rusted in shut needing heat and tons of work..they dont ever just twist out

[@BigDog50001]

ok

[@Robinhood179]

LOL. I had to bang both rotors out with a sledge hammer honestly. Screws wouldnt budge even with heat. Banged em out, replaced rotors, good to go 😅

[@user-mg4hd5kz3q]

Expert instruction thanks.

[@oriondragos5876]

Excellent video, plan to check my wheel bearings as I'm hearing a slight hum at highway speeds. If they happen to be the rear bearings I will follow your superb tutorial for sure!

[@BigDog50001]

I appreciate the comment, thanks!

[@KOOLAY203]

Amazing video 👌

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Good job as always Dave! Keep 'em coming! Always need a PLAN "B" especially as you say, if the car is from PA!

[@BigDog50001]

There is a reason I just happened to mention PA lol. Thanks for the comment Mike!

[@themechanic6117]

these cars you work on are amazingly clean!! great work. I swear all you had to do was look at it funny and I bet that bearing would have fell out lol

[@BigDog50001]

I used to live out in Illinois like you, in fact I visited there last month, and I can tell you I don't miss the rust!

[@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance]

[@neilrampersad4291]

Great video and information, your video quality is excellent also, thank you for sharing.

[@BigDog50001]

I appreciate the comment, thanks!

[@trankt54155]

You can also put the wheel back on temporarily and slowly let the wheel down and the weight of the car would pry that wheel hub off easily. There would be no need for banging....

[@stans5270]

Just put the 2-3 of the 4 bolts holding in the bearing in, loose to protect the bearing from popping out all the way. You don't want the bearing to pop out and the car to be sitting on the wheel. [or your foot]

[@adalbert9068]

Great vid! Thanks for that. Now I´m able to do it myself... but unfortunately without the nice tools you got :) Cheers from Germany

[@BigDog50001]

👍

[@trankt54155]

That car looks like it just came off the factory. Every screw came off so nicely....

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it!

[@stevebenson1802]

Excellent video! Thank you. BTW 72.3 ft-lbs is 98 Nm (metric torque).

[@BigDog50001]

Oh I am aware of the conversions lol! BTW, the actual way it is listed in Honda service info: 98.1 N·m (10.0 kgf·m, 72.3 lbf·ft). So even the first listed spec isn't a whole number! 10.0 kgf·m is a whole number but I am not aware of anyone that uses that on cars in the US. Thanks for the comment!

[@sickdevil14]

Why does this video have a couple thumbs down? This video is gold! Great job.

[@BigDog50001]

I appreciate the comment, thank you!

[@ah6501]

Big Dog50001 Automotive how often should you replace all wheel bar on a 2001 Honda Accord ex v6 coupe

[@ah6501]

Bearings

[@alexeybabichev2305]

Big Dog5001, can you please make a video with recommendations on Honda's brake caliper replacement? Honda OEM caliper replacement costs a lot of money and there are cheaper alternative aftermarket parts, but almost all of them are rebuilt. Do you think it is safe to use aftermarket calipers? How do you choose which one is good and which one you should never use?

[@booda1400]

realy great job / keep going)/ I like your way of working

[@BigDog50001]

Thanks 👍!

[@abdulbakry9034]

Very helpful chanel.

[@BigDog50001]

Thanks 👍!

[@trankt54155]

Thanks for the video. Excellent work. You must live in a state where there is no salt on the road. I don't see any bottom rust on your vehicle.

[@BigDog50001]

Arizona. I don't miss living in the Chicago area! Thanks for the comment!

[@funcastglobal]

you can use thick grease to hole the two washers in place. it's easier than when they are dry. They did not fall out on me when I did it that way.

[@marquezachamp]

Awesome video Thanks I am not game to change the hub on my car, but just wondering, can you remove the brake assembly without removing the brake hoses?

[@booda1400]

hi / do you have replace the front one cuz I need to change it

[@manuelsalgado8510]

Is it the same procedure for the front ones?

[@radicalrenegade8528]

What?? No packing the bearings in grease??? All contained in one piece. Nice. A torque wrench that lights up and beeps when you hit the target? Fancy. Can you tell how long it's been since I've worked on a car???? Your videos continue to be outstanding. "72.3. Who thought that was a good idea?" Hahaha!

[@BigDog50001]

lol, thanks for the comment as always RR!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Love plan B

[@BigDog50001]

lol

[@bronniesboy]

Hi is it safe to rule out a rear bearing on the accord if there is knocking at low speed? Shocks, sway by links and bushes all changed. All independent arms and wishbone ball joint solid as a rock. Knocking still persists. Hoping to get you opinion since you're working on one here. Thx

[@Fab24hdumans]

thank you for making such nice quality videos... Do I need an alignment after installation?

[@BigDog50001]

Not normally. Thanks for the comment!

[@steponmemommy9323]

Are the caliper bracket spacer washers absolutely necessary? I took my caliper bracket off and those washers are missing!

[@chrisa9373]

Excellent Video. One tip, try using penetrating oil on those hub bolts. PB Blaster is a penetrating oil, WD40 is not. WD stands for Water Displacement. Not that it matters to much on what you are working on. That thing looks brand new. Never in my life have I worked on a car that wasn't all rusted up. Especially after 5 or 6 winters up here.

[@BigDog50001]

If you look closer you will see it is actually WD-40 Specialist Rust Penetrant spray, not the regular WD-40. I used to live in the rust belt, glad I don't anymore! Thanks for the comment!

[@armani0320]

Great video I did mine this afternoon went for a drive and all my traction control lights came on my abs light low tire light, I never removed the speed sensor so I’m kind of puzzled. Thinking I might have a bad sensor now that I replaced the hub?!?!?!

[@BigDog50001]

Did you use an aftermarket wheel bearing/hub assembly? Two things I would be looking towards if this happened right after an install (and everything was ok before install), either the sensor or wiring was damaged during install or the new wheel bearing does not have the proper ABS magnetic encoder in it (or it is damaged). Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it!

[@rotabom]

Hi, is the 72ftlb a general 12mm x 1.5mm spec or is it specific to those hub bolts. Reason I ask is you said the brake caliper ones were 80ftlbs. So were they both specific specifications? Cheers

[@milanzivanic5767]

Very thanks for the video. Nice, easy and precise. Question. Can I use the part from Honda Euro, is it gona fit? Thanks

[@BigDog50001]

Not positive as I don't see European parts for Hondas here in the US. Thanks for the comment!

[@brandonl562]

Always enjoy watching your videos. I have a 08 accord 2.4 my starter went in dec replaced with aftermarket(big mistake). Six months later my cars check engine light flashing. Random misfire. Cylinder 2 and 3. Got a genuine Honda starter put it in. Cleared the codes and did a ckp relearn car runs like new. I have 3 studs that are broken. Those are impossible to put in. Even grinding off half the head still wont go. Do I need to buy a wheel bearing assembly?

[@BigDog50001]

The wheel studs can be replaced separately if you want to go that route. A new rear wheel bearing assembly (or front hub assembly) will have them already installed.

[@iDIL53]

Just had to change all 4 wheel bearings for my 2009 Civic.. Realised the humming last week and yesterday with my Mechanic , we found 3 were shot (both front and left rear).. changed all 4.. Then spotted both the lower-arm bushings were torn.. changed that too.. Now the Civic rides fine and I am the one now that is broke..hahaha

[@BigDog50001]

lol

[@riyad5541]

Great video and very detailed. I was wondering, could this video apply for a 2015 Honda Accord? I'm trying to replace my rear and front wheel bearing hub assembly on my 2015 Honda Accord Sport.

[@BigDog50001]

The rear should be similar, the front bearings are different (bearings need to be pressed in/out). Thanks for the comment!

[@riyad5541]

Thank you sir!!...I appreciate it. And continue to make awesome videos as you do. Would love to see videos of newer model Honda's in the future.

[@Redbull661]

probably dumb question but.. Do you really need to use the rotor screws? If so, why? Thanks.

[@BigDog50001]

They make install more convenient (the rotor is not flopping around) but they can be left off.

[@Ihavetruth22]

Bigdog. What about ABS SENSOR? I might do my FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY.. Was quoted $500 from local Service shop.

[@Aardvark49]

What reference do you use to get the factory part numbers?

[@BigDog50001]

I usually verify parts with Honda dealers using VIN.

[@HernanHH95]

2009 accord rear passenger didn’t have washer on those 2 brake caliper

[@boots7859]

BigDog, only one thing wrong. Go down to the local dollar store and get a couple of those silver sunshades. Glue them together and place them on the concrete before you laydown under a car. Makes a world of difference.

[@BigDog50001]

Thanks for the tip!

[@stans5270]

Cardboard - you can slide back and forth easily. Plus they're much larger so you can slide longer.

[@rodhorne3281]

The spec was 72.3 foot pounds because the rest of the world runs in metric. 98 Newton Meters is the exact measurement and 72.3 is the conversion.

[@BigDog50001]

Actually this is what the spec is from the service manual: 12 x 1.5 mm 98.1 N·m (10.0 kgf·m, 72.3 lbf·ft). Not even Nm (which is what they list first) is in a whole number.

[@babakaghapour945]

Hi, I replaced a new hub at the 43000 and now at the 60k again the same bearing started being noisy. Is it normal?

[@BigDog50001]

That is way too soon for failure in most cases.

[@craigevanson8063]

Great video! What was the mileage on vehicle?I bet it is over 100k!

[@BigDog50001]

I think it was around 75,000 miles. Thanks for the comment!

[@HallStevenson]

I'm guessing the torque spec for the bearing assembly bolts is actually 98 Nm. That converts to 72.3 ft/lbs.

[@BigDog50001]

I thought that too, but the spec from Honda for Nm is 98.1 (or technically 98.06). The only round number they give is 10 kgf-m. Who the heck uses kilogram force meter???

[@HallStevenson]

Hmmm, yeah, not sure that 0.1 add'l Nm is that critical but if they spec 98.1 vs just 98, that's interesting ! Even though the Accord is designed and built in the US, almost everything will be in metric (Nm instead of ft/lbs) from a design standpoint and what they'll publish.

[@tomdowling3994]

Where can i get Plan B? I've got a Civic with the hubs from hell!

[@patriot2164]

Not a NY (Catskills) car , no rust anywhere !

[@BigDog50001]

Nope! And I don't miss living in a rust prone area lol!

[@1575murray]

Obviously this car has not seen any New York City winters. If it did everything would be rusty by now.

[@BigDog50001]

And it probably never will. Been there and done that (rust belt), don't plan on ever doing it again.

[@KLNYC]

Subaru are the worst. Damn AWD cars. Thanks for the video

[@BigDog50001]

👍

[@Redbull661]

Plan B would of been more entertaining...just sayin lol

[@BigDog50001]

I was kind of hoping I would need it lol.....

[@bubcat54]

Just did both sides yesterday. I have the Rona so I was bored.
