Honda Accord? Can I reuse the front wheel bearing on a 2000 Honda Accord after I pulled the wheel hub and a piece of the bearing is still pressed/attached to the wheel hub? The ball bearings look fine. I was told I can pressed the wheel hub back into the hub assembly by tightening the axle nut. Here's the photo of the hub assembly and the wheel hub.

The alternative is to remove the whole assembly and take it to a machine shop and have them press the wheel hub back into it's place. But this requires a lot more work and re-alignment of the wheel.

Thanks.
 
you probably could reuse it but to be dead honest with you while its off just replace it and let the machine shop press it back into place its a hassle but you will not have to worry about wheel bearings or if its not pressed in properly u are going to cause more damage and more expenses do it rite the first time
