for me it was a new bearing, inner and outer wheel seal. the dust deflector I believe was reused.

bearing from autozone was I believe around 80$, and the wheel seals were around 17$. I had all my wheel bearing replaced at roughly the same time one after the next.

Its a sealed assy. You just need a press.

and even with a press its a Pain in the ****... find a good mechanic hard upf or cash. Where in cali are you located? If you are not far from the rialto/Sanbernadino/ Victorville areas(high desert), you can find a damn good deal on labor. I drove my gs over there to have this stuff done and for all 4 wheels bearings it was 450$-500$. It took 3 different saturdays, cause I wanted my car back during the week for work, but it was worth it.

Average hourly auto rates are 75-80$ an hour in cali. so at worst I paid him for 6hrs and 15min of work when really it was probably 3-4 times that(picking up the parts, tearing it all down, etc)

I did all of mine in part of an afternoon, but im pretty familiar with the car.
Really no tougher than doing them on an accord, and those are a b1tch.

I worked on a toyota sienna and couldnt get the bearing out because of how the knuckle was shaped. I just took the whole knuckle to a machine shop; like one that does engine work, and had them take it out and put it in. Cost $45. Just an idea.
