Civic Si's LSD for non Si models?

[MetalKnightCivicHB]

No way. It needs a hydraulic ram press. Thank the lord for Harbor Freight selling this "6 Ton" press...

So im going to order two new bearings.
Bearing, Ball (45X90X18.5)
Product ID: 91005-57A-006
Looks like both bearings are the same.

Thanks for sharing that HF press. I might buy one

Update!
So i contacted sooo many dealers.
They said that diff bearings are on back ordered for 7-10 weeks.
EXCEPT one dealer! Claimed to get it in 1-3 days but their price is double.

I tried to call trans shops, they said they couldnt work on my bearings. Bummer.

Then I asked my dad on his experience on removing a diff bearing. He says, "I got the tool and press". Of course he would. So he taught me how to use it.

So today, I managed to safely press off the bearing and press on the bearings on my mfactory LSD. The tool was a heavy duty bearing holder (something you cant buy from HF because theirs are too small) and a rusted out hydraulic press (similar to MrBurgerUS's post).

Voila! I had my dad check my bearings and he said theyre still good. Okay. Lets reuse them then.

Side note: I'm doubting that one dealer to claim they can get the bearing. I wont be reinstalling everything by friday. So if those new bearings come, ill have to remove these old bearings again.

Update:
Reusing the original bearing was a bad idea.
Will have to wait for the new bearing

You can never re use the old bearing .When you press them off you pull on the outer race and always damage the bearing.You need to support the inner race of the bearing actually to press them off the right way,but you can't reach that.

You could search the bearing number maybe there are other manufacturers who make the same size bearing.
I believe the oem is nachi ?

i think i replied someone on FB or here couldn't recall, yes you must replace after taken out don't reuse them & yes i mentioned they are hard to get back ordered & i waited for some time.

Could you elaborate on this?

 

[Hondanickx]

You Also need to watch out how you put the bearings on otherwise it doesn't get any oil.There's a sealed side and a open side.

What hondanickx said about the bearing is correct.
To remove it safely, you need to support the inner ring. The tool i have cant reach the inner ring from underneath when I pressed it out.
I believe pressing it in didnt damage it because the mid and outer rings arent involved.
When I turn both my bearings, theres a little clicky noise from within.

There shouldn't be any noise from the bearing right?

Cap you have a photo on how to gears sit and the shift forks?
Curious if I have them sit and positioned correctly.
