hub bearing replacement?

[acornhead]

I need to have my front hub bearings replaced on my 99 malibu, and I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what it might cost. I read somewhere that it might be $200+ per side??? Does that sound about right? If so, is this the type of thing that really needs to be done in a shop or could a person who doesn't really work on cars (well, it would be someone like my brother) follow instructions and do it themselves? I just replaced all 4 tires and really want to keep this next repair as cheap as possible! Anybody have a general estimate? I suppose that way if I have to ask our local mechanic I will know if his price is average or what....

Impossible to determine someones skill level in this environment, the how to is available at autozone.com, repair guides. Call around for parts prices to start with.

I bought 2 of them on ebay for about $65 each and replaced them myself renting the hub removal tool for free at Murray's discount auto. That's pretty cheap.
