Question for those who replaced front wheel bearings...

[rgurleyjr]

All of my previous vehicles had hub assemblies, I've never had to mess with taking them to shops to get pressed out. Is the easiest thing to take the spindle/hub assy out and take it to a shop? Any idea how much to get them to take the old one out and press in the new one? Or can you get the tool needed to replace the bearings yourself?

Not in the Corolla, but in my old car - I just took them to a speed shop and they pressed out the old bearing and pressed in the new bearings for $10 total per spindle. Basically charged me a little less than what their working rate was.

Juat ask around and see what they are charging. You could rent a tool to do it your self, but the amount of screwing around and trying to press the new bearing in straight - be easier to have they used their hydraulic press. Maybe 10-15 minutes tops to do both sides.

In my area they charge 50.00 per hub, and I found only one shop,I got mad and I did it myself with hamer, hand grinding tool, long bolt and few round shims.It not easy but doable.
