Default Rear wheel bearing replacement cost

What should I expect to pay to have my rear wheel bearings replaced?

If you take the housing off yourself and bring it/ship it in, around $450 for me. If you have them do all the work, probably around $800+labor. It's even cheaper if you decide to press and pack the bearings yourself, but unless you're wise to exact run-out specs and tolerances, I'd say let someone else do it. Van Steel does it for I think ~$225 each side.

What's the old saw about "If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it?"

I got VanSteel to rebuild my t-arms/bearing assemblies, but I took the body off the frame and had very good access and no cost for remove & replace.

Some jobs just aren't worth doing yourself...

Prices vary depending on who is doing the work. Where ever you get it done make sure they install bearings made in the USA. I prefer Timken bearings. Cheap non American bearings === Failure down the road.
