How to Replace Front Wheel Bearing on 2005 Acura TSX

In this video I show you how I changed the front wheel bearings on my 2005 Acura TSX. This is not an easy job to do. Timken makes the OEM wheel bearings for this car. You can buy the wheel bearings from amazon, partsgeek, autozone, and many other places online. The wheel hubs should come with new spindle nuts. The OEM manual recommends to use a new spindle nut when you replace the wheel bearings. The metal cutting discs that come free with the rotary tool break easily but if you are careful it still works (as shown in the video). I would buy some better cutting discs as backup. The bearing press kit has since gone up in price, but I found a cheaper one and listed it below in the product links. To help remove the old bearing, spray it with PB blaster before pressing it out.

To bypass this job, buy the whole knuckle with bearing installed. 1A Auto sells them. https://www.1aauto.com/

Any time that you disconnect the tie rods from the steering knuckle, you have the potential to throw off your alignment. Don't be surprised if your alignment is off a bit after replacing a wheel bearing. I recommend to get the lifetime alignment if you plan to keep your car for more than 2 years. I have one from a nearby Firestone Auto Care shop.

***To make it easier to press in the new bearing, put the bearing in the freezer for at least a couple of hours (or overnight).
***An easier way to separate the hub from the bearing is through the use of a hub puller. You can use it after you remove the rotor (while the axle is still in the hub). Link to hub puller below. You can rent a wheel hub puller and hammer from your local Auto Zone, Pep Boys, or O'Reilly.
