You need to get a bolt with the same diameter and thread pitch as the brake drumretaining screws. On my 1997 Escort that's an 8mm x 1.25 thread pitch bolt. The length should be about 12mm. or larger. Don't get a bolt that's longer than about 20mm. The bolt goes into a hole in the brake drum, bearing down on a plate inside the hub. You can't use a brake drum retaining screw because you need to be able to apply more torque to the fastener than could be safely applied to a jacked vehicle

    Before raising the rear of your Honda, remove the dust cup from the center of the brake drums using a hammer and chisel. This will give you access to the spindle nut, which you can loosen using an axle nut socket. Then you can raise and remove the wheel/tire assembly ,or assemblies if you are replacing the bearings on both wheels.

    If your Honda model is equipped with rear disc brakes, remove the brake disc retaining screws, the brake hose bracket from the steering knuckle and caliper bracket mounting bolts. Hang the caliper to the coil spring using wire. Do not let the caliper hang free or the brake hose may be damaged.

    At this point, you will be able to remove the brake disc by hand. However, rust may have a firm grip on the disc. If this is the case, use a couple of 8-by-1.25 mm bolts and screw them evenly into the brake disc threaded holes. This will push the disc off the hub. Now you can finish removing the spindle nut and hub/wheel bearing assembly and install the new hub/wheel bearing assembly using a new spindle nut

    If your Honda Civic comes equipped with rear brake drums, remove the center grease cup and loosen the axle spindle nut using an axle nut socket. After raising and removing the wheel/tire assembly, finish removing the axle nut and washer.

    You might be able to remove the outer wheel bearing from the spindle using a screwdriver. If not, wiggle the brake drum as you pull on it to let the bearing fall off the spindle. However, the brake drum might be caught in place by the brake shoes. In this case, you can retract the brake shoes through the hole in the back of the backing plate.

    Remove the rubber plug from the back of the backing plate. Then rotate the star wheel on the adjusting screw using a brake adjusting tool as you push the lever off the start wheel with a screwdriver. With the brake shoes off the brake drum, pull the brake drum off the wheel assembly. Then clean the brake assembly with brake parts cleaner and a clean, lint-free towel.

    Now you can set the brake drum on a workbench or hard surface and remove the grease seal and inner wheel bearing. The inner and outer wheel-bearing races can be removed using a drift punch and hammer. Pack the new wheel bearings with high-temperature wheel-bearing grease using a wheel-bearing packer and use a new grease seal during installation. Also, before reinstalling the brake drum, apply a thick coat of wheel-bearing grease to the cavity inside the hub, but do not fill it completely.

Rear wheel bearring fitting

Ok,remove wheel.The brake drum will come off with the hub as an assembly.Make sure the brake shoes are backed off enough to remove the assembly.If the inside of the drum isn`t worn to much,the drum will come off with a little effort.There will be a grease cap you need to remove.A large pair of channel lock pliers might work,if not try a flat head screwdriver and a hammer.There will be a lip around the grease cap sitting flush against the hub.Take the screwdriver and gently tap under the flange lip to see if the grease cap will start to move out away from the hub.Tilt the screwdriver handle towards the car,and tap the end of the screw driver so the cap will move toward you,away from car.Now go to the opposite side of the cap from where you are with the screwdriver now,and do the same thing.It can be a hassle to get it off without bending or peircing the cap.Continue until cap is removed.Two types of retaining nuts can be on this spindle.Look for a cotter pin going threw the nut(if it has a pin).Use a pair of needle noise pliers,and make the pin straight.You might use a pair of ****,or wire cutters to pull the cotter pin out.(remember to replace it with a new one when you go back with the new bearings)take the channel lock pliers and turn the nut counter clock wise to remove.It may have a cage around the nut you have to remove before you remove the nut with the channel lock pliers.If you have a nut without a cotter pin,then you have a lock nut.Lock nuts have to be removed with a lot more effort.Use a socket and a ratchet.and remove in the same order.There will be a large flat washer behind the nut after you remove the nut.Shimmey the brake drum back and forth side to side,and use the flat head screwdriver to helpremove the washer.The outer bearing is next,shimey the drum agai,or pull drum forward and remove drum and bearing.If it will not slide off easy.Use a peice of wood against the outer lip of drum,on back side and tap with hammer hard all the way around(please use goggles).If it does not try to come off,back brake adjuster off so brake shoes will let go.The inner bearing is on the inside of the drum.After you have the brake drum assembley in your hand,screw the nut back on the spindle about 5 or6 turns by hand.Put the drum back on until the nut is on the outside and you can see it.Now pick upward on drum and slide drum toward you about half way and stop and let the drum hang there.The nut should be half way inside the drum.With out picking up on the drum grasp drum and pull hard and fast toward you and the inner bearing and seal should be hanging on the spindle.To install new bearings ,pack the bearings with wheel bearing grease really good(they should have enough grease in them if they are not real easy to turn by hand.To remove the race(inner and outer)take a punch and place it on the race from the opposite side of where the race will come out(the race will come out the same side the bearing came out).Flip the drum(hub)over and remove the other race.Install the same way.but make sure the race is turned the right way(cup side out,not in)The bearing has to sit in the race.Ok the inner bearing is first to put in,then the seal.Tap the seal in with a hammer(also cup side in).Take the drum(hub)and slide it back on go over the the spindle,by twisting and pushing lightly,it has to go over a shoulder on the spindle.Then put the outer bearing in and the washer(notice the washer has a alienment that it will only go on one way).Now take the nut and put in on by hand .Take the channel lock pliers and tighten the nut until snug.Move the drum back and forth and tighten some more ,and alien the hole for the new cotter pin you purchsed and put the pin in.Bend the cotter pin so it can`t come out,and replace the grease cap and tap it on with hammer lightly,install wheel,and adjust brakes.To adjust brakes spin wheel and adjust brakes until the brake shoes start touching the drumuse a brake spoon).You are finished.
