Front wheel bearing help

Has anyone changed the front wheel bearing themselves?
I need a step by step instruction on how to do it because they want 200 bux here to change it and I honestly dont' think it's going to take over 2 hours to do.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Jo

not easy, you need a press too.

You will need a lot of tool and a press. This is another on the wheel bearing on the LS, but it's very similar to the SC.

Haha... 200??? that's it?? places around here were asking 500. I thought it was over priced myself so i did it myself and now i realize why they charge so much. Trust me it's not as easy as u would like it to be. Especially if u dont have the right tools. Took me almost a week b/c i didn't have a press. Trust me.. jus fork out the 200, it's not a lot for the bs it involves.

They want 200 bux even if i bring the hub to them. All they have to do is to press the bearing out and press new one in and send me packing. So for 200 bux they spend 15 minutes pressing a bearing out and in.

I figure since my car is not shaking or anything i might just pack extra grease in there and drive home to do it. I have a friend with a shop there. Unfortunately it's 300 miles away.
