When i did the driver rear i just changed the wheel bearing its self, just used a press to get it out, not sure if this is the case for the front.

High quality part. check out the video on the rockauto site
Basically only for people who keep their cars for long term
SKF are pretty pricey too @ $321/hub + shipping. OEM, Moog, Timken, and Toyo are less expensive (but not the cheapest either) and provide long-term reliability too.

With regards to the aftermarket bearing hub....I too looked on Rock Auto and found that the hubs with sensors were relatively close in price to the Lexus OEM ($300). I saw a Moog with the sensor in the mid $200 range and preferred to go with OEM. Since I am not doing the work myself, I did not want to take any chance that the aftermarket hub would not be compatable with the sensor and cause the ABS light to come on. We all know what it would be like to pay for labor twice when you use your own parts. Right now I cannot hear any noise unless I'm on the highway but knowing how **** I am with my cars, I'm sure it will be addressed in the not so distant future.
Hey Boca,
Have you replaced your wheel bearings since your last post?

Yes, It turned out to be the passenger side front bearing. I went with a Koyo which is OEM made in Japan. I had my local Infiniti dealership (which I have a relationship with) install it for me at a fair rate. I had this done about the time of my last post. All has been well since then with no issues or any other wheel bearings going bad.

I just did mine as well, very easy job to do, I bought aftermarket ones as genuine Toyota parts here are astronomically priced. Ended up doing both. I love my impact gun, makes doing the job so much faster.
