    Is it possible to buy the bearing and hub as one piece?

    My rear wheel driverside bearing has been confirmed to be failing. My mobile mechanic doesn't want to replace it because of the bearing press time to and from shop. (not worth his time I guess) He charges $20/hr and would rather perform easy repairs but is open to suggestions if I can make it easier on him.

    Dealership quoted me nearly $600 for the one wheel bearing parts and labor.

    My 20 ton press from Northern Toll was under $400, I guess it has saved me about 10k by now...

    Why don't YOU pull the axle and bearing, hump it down to the machine shop?
