    An FYI:
    There is a video out there showing how to replace them. I don't know how he got the plates in between the bearing plate and the hub. I had to cut off the 4 retainer bolts to do it. I also had to use a cut off wheel to split the inner race, without cutting into the hub.
    A bearing clamshell splitter would only move it 3/16 before bottoming out.

    The bolts are $3.50 ish each, at the dealer.
