VE Rear wheel bearing replacement

[UFO]

A friend got his rear wheel bearing done at Goodyear for $450. Shop around mate. I know you said you are in a small town, but it may even be worth driving a few hours to a bigger one and get it done for a better price.

There is no seal in the kit?

I figured that, but thats what they said. Must be dealer code name for whatever they forgot !! at least they drive me home that night to make up for the stuff up.
kinda figured something was wrong when they rang me at 3 in the arvo to say i need a new bearing then sounded surprised when i said yep, i know, thats what i booked it in for!

Hi all,

Thanks heaps for your help! I'm driving 4 hours to Adelaide to get it done, since i was going anyway. It's going to cost $400 instead of $700.

Just removed mine took just over an hour had trouble pushing the drive shaft through. The problem is that the new bearing is different to the old one, and i dont know if i just remove the bit off the stud plate it will be ok, nobody mentions this as they replace the stud plate as well
