You're quite welcome dino! I think if you don't have ABS brakes, the bearing inside the cartridge can be replaced instead of replacing the entire assembly. I remember seeing online somewhere that on those cartridges, there's a huge nut to remove on the backside, and then the bearing can be pressed out and a new one pressed in. But with the eBay cartridges being only $100, by the time you've bought a bearing and paid someone to press it in, you're spending about the same money, not to mention putting up with more hassle.
On the suspension bolts, you might be thinking of the front wheel bearings. Those require disassembling some of the suspension, and therefore are a PITA to replace. I did both of those too. I also posted a DIY thread on those as well; there's a link to it in my rear bearing DIY thread.
