I caught up on some maintenance this weekend with some new rear wheel bearings on both sides. What an improvement! For the last few months I just lived through the bearing noise, when I got these installed it was like I had never heard silence before.
My tip of the day: For rear wheel bearings, skip the OEM parts and find these. It turns out Honda (and probably many other makes) uses NTN bearings from the factory. The cost of the hub/bearing assembly from Honda was $120 for each side. These were $120
for both sides at Advance Auto. The best part? Timken uses the same NTN bearings as Honda, so you get OEM quality at 1/2 price.
