Default Wheel bearing v wheel bearing hub

Is it good idea to change the hub with already bearing pressed in or just change the bearing. How much I should pay if I want shop to press out and press in bearing in my old hub?
Thanks
RX300 2000 awd need rear wheel bearing

I would suggest the hub with bearing, Look at Rock Auto.com and Timken bearing replacement, great price and will save you time and money.

Just looked it up and could not find hub and bearing on that year. The bearing is less than $10 but that means off to a machine shop to press it in. Probably around $20 to $30 to press it in.
If your car had been FWD than the hub and bearing would have been available.

The rear comes with hub and bearing as one unit , not expensive and is fairly easy to replace. The front is where you have to deal with bearing and hub seperately, and is much harder to replace.

Rx300 2000 AWD 195k left rear bearing making noise.
I contact a supplier at EBAY selling hub and bearing separately. I asked him if he can press to gather for me but he is saying bearing has to be pressed in through knuckle therefore it has to be sold separately.
Can someone confirm.
