I recommend buying the part from Sunset and finding another mechanic who will work for you by the hour, not with a book rated job quote. Mine only charges me for the actual time he spends on the job, which is about $80 an hour.

It's about a two hour job to swap a wheel bearing. It does require a bearing puller/compression tool though, which isn't cheap to own.
