Hi Folks
I am a long time listener and user of ETCG youtube channel and website. I usually manage to perform most repair job on my Element, but this time I need advice.
I am in the process of changing the rear wheel bearing on the 2005 Honda Element, I remove the disk brake, castle nut and all the bolt and nuts retaining the bearing assembly (see photo).
Aniway here is my problem: nothing else is moving, the hub is stuck and so is the bearing :huh: …any advice
Thanks
Joe

This help a lot, Silly me, I thought that would be an easy job like the rear wheel bearing of a Honda odyssey. Totally different
Can this be done without removing the knuckle from the vehicle with a bearing press kit?
I will look into the special tools.Thanks
have you tried a light tap with your 5-pound hammer? The bearing might need some slight persuasion. Don’t be shy. It’s designed to take the jolt of hitting potholes at high speed.
I finally did it and made a video of the process of removal and re installations
check it out on youtube:part 1: disassembling http://youtu.be/IpNRB-2FXnY
part 2: reassembling http://youtu.be/OjZdYWPW8CU
thank you for pointing out the right directions
cheers
