There is nothing secret or complex or Porsche specific about wheel bearing issues or fixes. No need to take it to a "Porsche" dealer or Porsche garage.
Wheel bearings can be changed out by a school boy with minimal knowledge.
$1500.00 to change a couple of wheel bearings out is theft.

Ya, I should just try it myself and get a bearing press kit and whatever else is needed. It is my 2nd car so not a big deal if it can be driven for a bit. I changed control arm bushings by myself on my old BMW many years ago so maybe I just need to try it.
