140.00 CAD reasonable for wheel bearing replacement?

I could probaly do myself as I did struts and rear drum brakes but it does look to be more involved from videos.

I already have the new bearing and the mechanic who used to do the work on this yaris says he will do for $140.00 CAD cash.

He did the drivers side just before I bought the car about 1 1/2 years ago.(I bought the car from my sister BTW)

Ya that seems reasonable. I'm assuming you are talking about the front?

What bearing did you buy?

National bearing from Parts cource(78.00)

If I had access to garage I would maybe give it a go.

I'm not super familiar with National's quality and reliability of their bearings. Although for that price they better be good!

Quote from Volvo forum..

(National bearings should be pretty good. They are identical to Moog bearings, which in general is a reputable brand)

I know Timken are recommended but national was available locally.

National bearings are good stuff. It is likely a Timken bearing in a national box. National and Timken often buy and rebox from eachother. Either way it's good stuff. If it's a hub and bearing assembly it's not to bad to do. If it's just the bearing it requires a press or very precise beating with a big hammer on a solid concrete floor. If your working on gravel on your knees your better off paying the $140. IMO

Its just the bearing,and yes it is a bit more then I can do in the driveway.Also time constraints as with most of us life is busy.

Dont get me wrong I totally prefer DIY but sometimes you gotta get a pro to do the job for whatever reason it may be.

I have done one. There was a lot of beating and I ended up damaging the bearing and buying a second one. So in the end I saved $70 and it took me 3 hrs. With a the proper equipment (a press) it's an easy job. Without your beating the hell out of the hub and spindle and likely a finger! $140 is a good deal. Save your self the time and finger!

Another option is you could remove the knuckle & take it to a machine shop, have them press it in & out.

It's worth the $140. These wheel bearings suck and if the 2nd gen Yaris is like the first gen (or in my case my Scion xA) that snap ring retaining clip is a horrible HORRIBLE thing that is pure evil.

Don't sound like a bad price. You can do them yourself, but a lot of times axle will be frozen to the inside race and can be very hard to remove without damaging it,new bearings should be pressed in to prevent damage to them, could use a hydraulic press or maybe rent a bearing installation kit from someplace like Auto Zone? Kit would have tools needed to remove old bearings and install the new ones.
