[Shotimes] Front wheel bearing replacement

[Zach Leahy]

The labor is probably right on for the amount of work that needs to be done.
You will need to pull the spindle off the front, which is not terribly hard,
but takes some time. Especially if it has been a long time since we were
last out. here in Indiana, pinch bolts are sometimes the worst thing wasting
most of your time. Once the spindle is off it's press a new bearing / hub in
place. Not too bad a quote at $200 in labor, but you caould save moolah by
removing the hub yourself.
 The parts are genrallt cheaper, but I have always just replaced the bearing
and not the hub itself. Like others have said about 40 for the bearing.
Their prices may be a bit high, but if that includes the new center hb that
may not be so bad, a little high, but hey they have to make some money.
