I am replacing rear brakes on my 86 Accord (130K) for what I suspect is the first time. The bearing assembly is different from the Nissans, Toyotas, and VWs that I have worked on that it is a one piece assembly that fits over the spindle and inside the hub. Everything comes off by removing a 32mm nut tightened at about 130 ft-lbs. My question is whether this bearing assembly is DIY serviceable. My Haynes manual provides no information about it and no exploded view. If I pry out the seal can I clean and repack the bearing without special tools as I have done on the cars mentioned above? Or since the bearing is not loose and moves as expected should I just leave it alone?
