    Morning everyone. ABS light came on, shop replaced right rear speed sensor twice. Asked me to drive it a week and bring back. Now code is saying it's detecting metal on speed sensor. Shop says to fix it, replace wheel bearings. Stealership wants $2300, Shop wants $1800. Said I could save money if I bought everything I needed myself. After talking with them, they are basically going to buy parts and take to machine shop to press the bearing on.
    I'm not a mechanic so I researched and looks like I will need what's listed below. What I want to do is buy the parts and go to the machine shop myself, cut out the middle man.
    I'm here because I know you guys can recommend a quality place online that I can buy these parts (kit ?). Can you help ? Am I missing anything below ? Can you buy a kit that has everything I need ?

    To replace those wheel bearings you need to pull the axle yourself which requires some home mechanic work (look at the link shared by @6 gearT444E and you will see). If you aren't a mechanic and you haven't done something like this before you probably won't be able to cut out the "middle man". Good luck.

    Doing this job right now on my truck. Approximately $290 per axle. I am taking out the axle and taking to machine shop.
    Also installing new seals/O Ring. Not that hard if you can follow the instructions (youtube videos) available.
    Ordered the Timken bearings (hub) from RockAuto, Timken 512294 and 512295.
    Picked up the retainer, O ring, conical washer and seal from local dealer.
