Rear wheel bearings- Cost? Should I do it or pay someone?
Allllright, I just got my FC back from the shop with a new OMP and oil pressure sender. All is well and good, right? Guy told me I need new rear wheel bearings.
He said he'll charge $125 parts and $350 labor per side. Does this sound about right? How difficult is this job? Should I try to take it on by myself and spend only $300 for parts? or should I shell out $950 to get new bearings and have them installed?

That's ******* ridiculous.
Take the hubs off yourself and have a machine shop press them in.
Expect to pay around $80 off eBay or from Autozone for two rear wheel bearings and two wheel seals.
The shop will press them in for $70 at the normal end or $30 at the cheap end per side.
$110>>>>>>$450

i just did mine and i just bought a used hubs off ebay for like $40 each. Then it took me about 45 min a side with an impact gun to pull them off and put them back on. so $80 for both sides thats alot better $950. and its so easy as long as you dont break any bolts
