RT Rear Wheel Bearings, Hubs. Options?!

in Engine & Drivetrain
So my bearings are on their way out. There is enough movement i can feel when jackup up. So, i started searching, looking for where to find either the complete hub or the rear wheel bearing. Seems as though no parts distrubutors sell the complete hub, and only a few sell the bearing itself. It has become unclear IF it is possible to just replace the bearing, or if you HAVE to replace the whole hub. I wouldnt see why just replacing the bearing would be a problem, but would like to find out. I have access to a large hydro press, so that no problem, just need to hear other peoples experience with this. I have a set of extended studs to install at the same point and this is the only step i feel weary of after reading of members running into problems (and then not expressing what the problem was)...So before i pull it all apart, press out the bearing and foook it up, id like to know what im into here....


I found them pretty cheap here too:

    Sorry, I've done fronts and rears on a 2wd, but no RT rears. My thought is that it would be very similar to doing the fronts.
  • MrLewayneMrLewayne Wagonist
    Im interested in hearing the way this turns out.

    Alright, someone's bound to have tried to replace the rear wheel bearings on an RT....if you have, please chime in!

    I am in the progress of doing this in the UK.

    The bearing is listed from Honda only and it's £90 for one type and £150 for the other.

    That's x 1.5 to get it into dollar price.
    I've measured the bearings and trying to find one which fits. - I have a good candidate.


    Wondering if there is a known fitment for this now as this post was last done in 2011.
    Else when I know, I'll sticky the info.

    Naturally at the same time as doing this I will be converting to rear discs.
    I'll write up my conversion, but it uses a rear caliper / carrier combination that is Euro only. However, it would work with any calipers that use 260mm rear discs.

    Just had all this done at a local Napa auto. New front and rear bearings pressed in along with extended studs. I can get the bearings part number if needed. Suspension will be back on the car asap.

    i just found a spare pair of RT rear bearings after i moved .... if needed
    but did mine back in Virginia before moving to Florida

    If you could it would be apprecaited please.
    I suspect it will be different to those available in UK/Europe, but some makes cross internationally :)
  • Madr0xMadr0x New Wagonist
    I will have the part numbers asap
  • Madr0xMadr0x New Wagonist
    I tossed all my boxes already and the napa guy gave me this info, it's vague.

    Brand is CR. Front is pf102. Rears are br35.

    Im not sure if those are general part numbers or using his books.
  • civtec350civtec350 Wagonist
    the napa that i work at lists pfw102, or fw102 for the front(cheaper brand, and skf brand).
    for the rear we list a b35 (skf brand)only in the book, not in the computer for the 4wd models.
  • civtec350civtec350 Wagonist
    here are the dimensions for the rear sealed bearing for 4wd.
    part # b35:

    i.d.: 1.3386"
    o.d.: 2.5197"
    width: 1.4567"

    id: 34mm
    od: 64mm
    width: 37mm

    That gells perfectly with my measurements here.

    Many thanks. Perfect result!

    I'll see if I can find the SKF bearing here, else I'll try my other alernative part route out.
    That said it's only £27 ($40) with shipping for the correct part from the USA. - mine was coming out at half that but isn't a guarenteed fit (tho looks identical).

    Oh I didn't know they operated in the uk !!
    Good news is tho from that site that my searching for parts was 100% bang on correct.
  • toys-n-joystoys-n-joys Wagonist
    so just bearings available or is there a full hub assembly?


    also thanks for p/n civtec350
  • mr_sp33mr_sp33 Wagonist
    There's a place that has rear 4wd EE wagon hubs and listed, but the part number is the same as the EG and DC2...

    They're 'Ultima HA4013'. Maybe silly Q, but they're not the same as fwd rear hubs/bearings are they?

    EDIT: I called the place and they confirmed with the supplier that it was an incorrect listing and removed it from their site :/
