Default they say I have loose wheel bearings??

I but a B16 in my 91 Civic HB and now the guy at the inspection place says I have loose wheel bearings, it was fine in october before I did the swap and had been setting since then. Im kind of confused as to how they are messed up now, after I have not even drivin the car for almost 9 months. Wierd. Also how do I fix this? Can I just buy new bearings? Or does this have something to do with the swap, never heard of this happeneing. Thanks

Bearings don't go bad while sitting. They were probably bad before and you never noticed it. If you have access to a press, replacing bearings is a snap.

yeah i had the same prob. i went to the j-yard and got the hub assem. for 15 bucks its its good . i think its 60 for the bearing and 50 for the press shop i think, so 15 is really not bad .
