I can't remember if the front hubs are the same as the rear, but in order to
replace the bearings, you need to use a hydraulic press to remove the
bearings. It's almost easier to replace the whole hub assembly (hub and
bearings), than swap out the bearings.

Here are the part numbers you'll need.
(Auto Parts Warehouse no., Not Honda Part numbers)
Hub assembly: K7001-61118
Wheel Bearing: K8000-20395

Do a search on these part numbers for the best prices, it's been two years
when I had to replace these and the website I used is no longer around.
Also make sure they are for the front. Honda recommends you replace the
axle nut as well.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Good Luck!

Why do you think you need to replace the wheel bearings?
