You should have no prob getting the wheel bearings but unless you have a press to take them out and put them back in your going to have one hell of a time. There are some jobs that are just better left to the shop.

If you can bring just the hubs in to have the bearings pressed in and out you can save yourself a lot of $$

So it may be best for me to take it to a shop and get it done? Anyways ill get some quotes and then ask if it will be anycheaper for me to take the hubs off and just take them in..

Thank you

I just recently replaced my right rear wheel bearing and it is A LOT cheaper to pull the axle carrier (hub assembly) off yourself (if you have the tools, etc.) and take it to a shop. If I had taken my car to a shop and had it done, labor would have been $275 plus parts. I paid a shop $40 to press in a new bearing and seals. Also--**very important**--make sure you check the hub itself. Mine was worn and MUST be replaced if there's any wear at all. You can get one from Lithia Toyota for about $56. Good luck, keep us posted.

Sometimes you can look at the bearing serial code and match it up with the Koyo replacement. That is pronably the cheapest option I would do to save some money. Also go to your local motorcycle dealership and they might be able to match it for you.

1 Front Bearing
Part No# 513031
National Bearing
Warranty: Limited 1 Year*
$50.98

1 Rear Bearing
Part No# 514002
National Bearing
Warranty: Limited 1 Year*
$42.98

That's U.S. Prices from Advance Auto Parts... which I work there and receive a discount off the price quoted, in case anyone in my area needs some parts.

Dunno how much they are in Austr, but atleast it is an idea for ya.
