I just change my right front wheel bearing about 2 wks ago. Its a simple job if you have the right tools for the job. the only problem I had was on of the bolts on the knuckle wouldn't come out, so I ended up pulling the whole strut assembly off the car. My bearing cost about $32 so it wasn't that expensive. The Chilton's manual was my best friend on this project..Good Luck!

Just pray your rotors aren't frozen on, like mine where when I was replacing them with the Brembo slots. The front right stripped 4 screws alone. Got ****ed and took a hammer to it. Other than that, bearings are easy if you have a press.

And hey, someone from the same area I am. WOW, I was beginning to think I was alone out here. Even though I've seen atleast 8 other 3rd gens.
