I am new to this site.
Would appreciate your help and advise.
Need to replace the lug nut bolts on the right front of an 88 Accord LXI.
This looked like something I could do but when I got the spindle nut off I can't remove the hub. Thought the hub would come off after I removed the spindle nut. (Have replaced the rear wheel hubs so I thought I could do the front). Is this something I can do or will I need to take this to a shop to get the lug bolts replaced?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

As far as I know, you will need a press to get the front hubs off. Pull the knuckle off and take it to a machine shop.

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping it would be easier than that. Seems like a lot of work just to replace four lug nut bolts. Thought there might be a hub puller tool that would remove the hub without messing with the knuckle.
