Nuggit 0 Posted February 8, 2007 I'd say two hours a side, plus bits... 120+ seems a bit high, if you estimate labour @ £20/hour. (Edit, I know somebody's going to say it, but surely bearing's aren't more than twenty quid a side are they?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted February 8, 2007 No bearings arent more than £20, however if you know a garage that only charges £20 per hour youre doing well!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted February 8, 2007 what kind of price should i be paying to both have front wheel bearings replacd on my C. i have been getting quotes £120+ so far sounds fair to me, it's not too difficult a job to remove the front hubs yourself and then get a garage to simply press the bearings on/off for you, but with the front hub nuts needing replacing anyway which are flippin tight, it's best left to a garage if you haven't done it before. I'd also consider replacing the front outer CV boots while the hubs are off, if they are the original ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
