Re: wheel bearing
All of the wheel bearings on your car are "pressed" in. So regardless of any labour you can do yourself you'll still need to take the hub and spindle to a machine shop, or any place that can press out the old bearing and press the new one back in. To save some money if your mechanically inclined you can remove the hub and spindle yourself and take it to the shop to put the new bearing in. taking the spindle out is just a matter of disconnecting the lower balljoint, the tie rod end, and cv joint from the hub....then sliding the spindle of the strut....if you've never done it before though, you might be best letting a shop do it...you need a 30 or 32mm socket for the cv joint nut, and some of the bolts on the other parts of the suspension can be a bitch to crack if they haven't come off in awhile...but if your willing its not too complicated..I could do that job at home in 2 hours...
