Unfortunately, you can't replace the front hub bearings--you have to replace the entire front hub assembly. This is becoming the rule and not the exception in both foreign and domestic later model cars. Gone are the days of simply replacing $10 worth of bearings. You can get a Timken replacement hub from Autozone for about $107.00 (PN: 513090). The hub assemply is held on by four cap screws and is a relatively simple replacement. I would recommend using some Locktite on the cap screws and torque each to the specifications for your vehicle. ERB
They need to be pressed in. You will have to remove the hub assembly and have a shop press the bearings into the hub.
sorry to have to tell you this but the bearings are part of the wheel hub and sealed within. you need to change the entire hub. $$$$$$$
are you talking about the front or back? the back bearings are a non serviceable part, the in order to change the bearings u need to change the hub, the front bearings can be separated, but chances are if you have to change your hub, bearings will have to be changed also, you will damage the bearings trying to remove them and put them back in, so my answer is yes. get the parts yourself from ecstuning.com and you will save alot of money over dealer or most shops.
