Best Answer

After you remove the wheel, remove the caliper and caliper mounting bracket. There is a nut on the end of the axle shaft. Remove the nut. There are three bolts on the back of the steering knuckle that hold on the wheel bearing. Remove these bolts. Then with a punch or chisel and hammer, strike the axle shaft until the old bearing comes out. Reverse procedure to install. Don nut re-use the axle shaft nut. Do not under- or over-tighten the axle shaft nut. Torque for the nut is 180 ft lbs.

The wheel bearings are not really replaceable by themselves. This is because they are integrated into the hub assembly. So the answer is that you will have to replace the entire hub assembly to replace the bearings.

Is there a difference between a rear hub assembly and a rear wheel bearing for a 1999 CRV?

If you're trying to replace the rear wheel bearing and all you can find is the rear hub assembly, it probably means that you can't get just the bearing. Many vehicle manufacturers press the bearing into the assembly at the factory and there is no way to replace just the bearing. If they're offering the assembly, that's probably what you'll need to buy.

if its not the tires doing this, then it could be a bad wheel bearing. If you veer to the left and right, and the noise comes and goes, its definitely the wheel bearing, replace the affected unit as a hub assembly. Often worn bearings sound like a propeller type air plane..
