The cost to replace a strut tower bearing on a 2000 Saturn LS1 typically ranges from $100 to $300, depending on labor rates and whether you choose OEM or aftermarket parts. Labor costs can vary, but expect to pay around $75 to $150 for installation. It's advisable to get a few quotes from local mechanics for a more accurate estimate.
Although there is a snap ring retaining the bearing, you will need to take the strut to a mechanic and have the bearing pressed out. If you take out the three bolts on the top of the strut tower, and disconnect the ball joint at the bottom, you won't have to worry about throwing the alignment out.
To replace the strut you have to jack up the car on the side you want to do and take off the wheel. Then, take it loose from the strut tower on the top. There are 3 or 4 nuts. Then take it loose from the steering knuckle on the bottom. The whole strut assembly lifts out. To replace the coil you have to have a strut compressor. It compresses the coil spring so the top of the strut can come off. Once the top of the strut is exposed the coil can be taken off the strut.

Next, detach the strut assembly by loosening the bolts connecting it to the steering knuckle and the strut tower under the hood. Remove the old strut and install the new one by reversing the process, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reattach the wheel and lower the vehicle back to the ground.
