This probably is a job you should leave for a good shop. I'm not saying that to discourage you. This style of wheel bearing requires the use of special pullers and installer tools. I have seen many experienced techs screw this job up. Because of the way the bearings are made, they have to be removed off the hub flange and installed in the knuckle with extreme care or the bearing will be damaged. If you do go ahead with this at home, have some very experienced help handy, this is not a job you can do over the internet.

What is the 2006 honda civic front wheel bearing torque spec

what the hell are you talking about? you have sealed wheel bearings. the preload is already set at the bearing manufacturer. the bearing is pressed into the spindle unit and the front axles are secured to the hub. hub is pressed into the inner race of wheel bearing.

I have 2002 honda civic with noise coming from rear sounds like a noisey wheel bearing have jacked up both sides and spun wheels with no sign of noise .

Check Tires for feather edge. Join your fingers together, move around the rear Tire from front to back and vice versa on both of the rear Tires and feel the smoothness. If the tread of the Tire resist the fingers in one direction and smooth on the other, then the Tires may be producing the abnormal noise.
Temporarily bring both the front Tires to the rear and rear Tires to the front on the same side, drive the car and watch the noise. If the noise begins to come from the front end, then the Tires are defective and need replacement. . If the noise still comes from the rear wheels then the rear wheel bearings need replacement.(You can also rotate the Tires in criss cross manner temporarily)
The bearings often vary noise with and without load. Be sure to troubleshoot the noise before spending money on costlier spares.

How to change wheel bearing in 92 honda civic lx

You can change it without a press if you absolutely have to, but I really strongly recommend that you take it to a machine shop and have it done right with a press. My local shop charges only $65 for the job.

Honda Civic 2007 Civic . Cahange wheel bearing and

sorry to tell you this but it sounds like the wheel bearing was put in backwards on one or both sides. the front wheel bearings have a black speed ring built in and that is what your speed sensor reads off. - this is common as the front bearings will install either way- hope this helps

2005 Honda Civic

if this is happening all the time i would jack up the car and manuelay turn the wheels and listen for anything unusual if it is happening when you press the brakes i would pull the wheels and examine them for a stuck caliper or slider, before removeing the wheels try shaking them side to side and up and down to check for exxcessive play that may indicate a wheel bearing or other loose front end parts, fyi a bad wheel bearing when going around 40-50 mph and veering slowly left then right will usally make noise going one direction worse than going the other -jeff
