Hey I'm gonna have 1 wheel bearing done one my 02 ss.. how long should it take to get done..my mechanic said 2hrs..seems a bit long

 

Two hours is too long, I had Chevy change one of my front hubs on my Avalanche and it only took them an hour and they even quoted me an hour, but then again it was under warranty. I plan on doing my two front ones at the same time on my Monte by myself and I am predicting approximately two hours (one hour each) tops, I will have the whole front end up on stands at one time and will be using pneumatic tools to make the job easy, also I will be taking my time. Too bad you dont live near me in Athens GA I could do them for ya, and for cheap because I am unemployed and could use a few funds.

If you can do it yourself I would.

Mechanics take their time with it and it can cost around $400

 

I just got it done for 120.00 with parts..pretty good eh?

 

Dang that actually is a good deal, I would be tempted myself to have that done at that price although I am a do it yourselfer, when I had my Avalanche done I frist took it to Good Year before I realised that I still had a warantee on it, and they quoted me $800 just for one, and when I took it to Chevey for the warantee they told me that if they charged me then it would cost around $200 and THAT included the price, hmmmm seams like I wont be doing any more business with Good year.

 

60 for the part, 60 for labor. Not that bad, but I just did a wheel bearing and it was SIMPLE. Remove wheel, caliper, bracket, rotor, then the hub is right there.

 

I would say about $90 for the bearing (Timken) It is pretty simple to do. I just did my two front ones today and it only took me about 30 min on the first one and 20 on the second. I have a good video I found on how to do it. It is two parts and done on an Impala, but it will be the exact same on the Monte. If you have access to an impact its much easier.
