Front Wheel bearing sizes?
Just been through a bit of a headache ordering '82 Accord front wheel bearings (for my 4x100 converted '79) with suppliers not providing answers then not getting the right parts... though I did get them eventually.
They wanted to supply me with wheel bearings that would also supposedly fit '79-'87 Prelude (I believe Prelude changed their W.bearing ID for '81 & again for '84?Si models) with a 35mm Inner bore diameter !
Just curious to know if this usage would ever have existed or if their catalog is as inaccurate as I suspect.
They seemed to think it might vary if the car had been fitted factory with rear discs (never officially offered here!)
Far as I knew Honda had stitched to 36mm ID for the second generation, exempting the 38mm SE-i as noted in the FAQ hub/axle thread.
