hey, i was changing my wheel bearings in the fron of my 96 lx 2.2 non vtec , did the front driver, no problems, started on the front passenger and one of the 4 hub bolts, ( theo nes that face outside the tire, 14mm ) is rounded off, anyone know a good was to get it offm or a tool i can go buy to get it off???? please help

 

sorry i can't help you with that, but what is the size of your rims? I wanna get rid of the stock 15's w/ hub caps, and i am trying to visualize what different sizes look like. I have the same gen as you

 

The bolts that face the outside of the car hold the hub to the rotor. You still should be able to remove the hub. You have to press the new bearing on, so I am guessing that you have to take the assembly to a machine shop, or you have a press. The machine shop will be able to get that bolt out.

Ify ou want to DIY, there are a couple of ways that I can think of. You can buy bolt extractors from sears designed to grip a rounded bolt. Use a dremel to cut a groove in the top of the bolt and use a big flat head screw driver to loosen it. Or drill into the bolt head and use an easy out.

 

thanks guys, my rims are 17 inch , and as far as the bolt being rounded off, i just had the machine shop take it off per pahondas' idea, they said they had to air chisle it, whatever thats means
