Well I've had this really bad vibration for quit a while now so i figured id replace my bearings. Since i had to disassemble the rotors and everything i decided to go ahead and do a rotor over hub conversion.

For those who don't know on 4th gen accords you have to press the hubs out with a press to get the rotors off. Well i go through rotors a lot so i decided to make it so they just slide on the outside and i don't have to disassemble the entire front end.

Well i went online and got some 98 acura 2.3 cl hubs, 98 acura cl brembo blanks, 92 accord EBC greenstuff brake pads, and i just picked up my 92 accord bearings at the honda dealership.

here you can see how i have to take everything with me to get the hubs pressed out.

You see how the rotor is bolted to the inside of the hub

My new hubs and bearings installed. i was going to get a picture of the new hubs to show the difference but UPS waited till 15 till 5 to get them to me so i had to rush down to get them pressed on.

The difference between my good spring and my broken one.

Looks good, jared. Sounds like all the hard work now will save a lot of pain and hassle later by doing this conversion. I didn't realize the brakes were set up that way on your generation of accord.

It's always nice to see shiny new rotors and the EBC Greenstuff pads peeking out of the calipers.

What, no shiny stainless braided lines? :D

Did you do the brake fluid at that time as well?

I was going to do the brake lines at the same time but funding said next time. No i didnt do the brake fluid because since im going to be doing the brake lines soon there was no sense in changing it and then spilling it all over the place when I remove the old lines.
