Rear Wheel Hub Assembly

Does anyone know where to purchase new rear wheel hub assembly for the RT?

I ruined two of my rear left studs and the bearing is almost out and i want to replace the whole thing. I called the honda parts store and they said that it was discontinued. i really don't want to go to a junk yard and pull of a whole trailing arm just to get the bearing assembly due to having to press it out. I've tried nappa, autozone and shucks o'rileys in the greater seattle area and kept getting the same wrong bearing that doesn't have the splines for the rear axles to bolt up. If anyone has any info on where i could find one i'd appreciate it much.

Thanks,
TooRandom

Here is a picture of the part just for reference (not actual one for the wagovan)

    No need for a press. Just unbolt the big ass nut that's in the middle, and the hub assembly slides right off the spindle, bearing and all.

    Don't forget those 4 Torx-headed MFers.

    :oops: You're right,but that still doesn't get hub out of the brg.There's 2 ways:1)Press it out. 2)Ghetto way.I took a socket the size of the hub end & a 2.5 lb.(1 kilo(aprox.) hammer & went to town.The only possible prob with this is inner taper got dinged ever so slightly.I think this was OK 'cuz it could be grounded w/a hand grinder. I think the taper sits on the axle & doesn't spin(grind) on the axle.This is what I did,SO don't blame me if it doesn't work.In the end you'll probably still need to press it out ,cuz what I just described is just to get the hub out.

    :) The good news is you can reuse the hub.Just replace the brg.If you're going to replace the brg.You'll need a machine shop to remove the inner brg race off the hub & press the brg out of the lower arm after you remove the snap ring.The brg probably not going to be easy to remove.What I did was to go down to my ''LAB''(junkyard).To simulate the rear hub I tried to remove the frt hub of a honda and then the brg.I didn't have great support,but did get the hub out.The brg was not easy at all.

    I take back what I said. For some stupid reason I saw FWD when in fact the OP obviously is working on a 4WD. Good luck finding the replacement bearings for the RT4WD rear hub. I had them on B/O with Honda for about 4 months and they never came. I changed to the CRV rear hubs for my build.

    eek. thanks for the info guys. would anyone randomly have the part number for the bearing? Im afraid to go to a local schucks or nappa cause they're computers say different things with parts.
