I did all this stuff last year including the wheel bearings. I generally dont replace things unless they need it or the incremental labor is near zero. for the wheel bearings i tested them by simply grabbing the top and bottom of the wheel while it was in the air and rocked it back and forth. i would say replace them if you feel any play at all. My rears were in bad shape, the fronts were fine. i do have a bearing press and a lathe to make up some pulling pushing inserts but for most folks i would say it makes more sense to have it done. the car has 170k on it and i think the bearings were original from inspecting them
