they have a whole list of the service manuals for all kinds of hondas and it only takes a couple minutes to download. its not like a haynes or chiltons manual, its the actual service manual like the dealership has so it has detailed step by step instructions and diagrams.

it's easy as shit but a mechanical press is very helpful. if i were you i'd take it to a shop. the inside of the knuckle is compression tapered and if you just try to hammer it in you can scar the walls and possibly ruin it.

^ nah....i have a 30 ton press, with full set of adaptors...and rarely use them for wheel bearing installs.
but, the easiest thing to do is to take the knuckle off, and bring it to a shop and have them press it out and back on. unless ya have done a few...i would do that. i generally charge about 20-40 bucks to do that, as long as you bring the parts in.
