I have a 98 boxster w/40000 miles and have a bad wheel bearing. the local repair shop quoted me 650.00 to repair this and I think it's alittle high.
350.00 labor
200.00 alignment
80.00 part
then 8.25% tax

I've taken off the calipers/rotor and ran into a problem (requires pulley to take off the bearing) before i can proceed. I know i can do this myself but lack the pulley/press it requires to take off the bearing. has anyone had a similar problem or just replaced their rear wheel bearing b4? btw, i bought a oem replacement bearing for 51.00 bucks.

thanks guys
