Suncoast Parts has the whole assembly for $140, and I didn't know about it. If I had, I would've gone with the whole thing too. But in my case, I went down to Sears Auto Center and asked them if they could press it in for me, they said yes, should be about $30. Great! When I got the thing out and took it down to them, they told me they didn't have any adapter big enough to press it in. Then I tried Pepboys, press wasn't woriking. Tried O'reilly, they could, but would have to send it out, takes about a day.

So yeah, the whole assembly would be a safer and less annoying approach if you don't know anyone with a press.

Oh, and to one of your questions, I couldn't get my torque wrench in there, so I got everything to snug, and then add another 1/8 to 1/4 turn. The car still hasn't fallen apart yet.
