Thank you for your generosity, Valkpilot. Did you buy bearings from Honda or somewhere else?
I got the AllBalls bearing sets, which come with the seals, for both wheels. The rear set I ordered through Denton Cycle Center Honda along with new o-rings and thrust washer. After thinking about it awhile, I went ahead and ordered the fronts online from
www.goallballs.com $30 for the rear set, $17 for the fronts. Probably less than 1/2 the cost of OEM since dealer price on the 5204 on the rear is $65 by itself. For the price, you could replace 'em every 20k miles if you felt like it.
There's a slight hitch in the get-along when I lean left and a faint squeak with the rear brake applied, plus that left rear bearing felt slightly rough last week when I had it all torn down, so I'm going to do them all as a preventative act.
