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.
