What is a fair price for a new wheel bearing fitted to my Ford Focus (X REG) Front wheel bearing?

February 10th, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments

I know nobody works for nothing and it is a skilled repair that only a few people can do so obviously the guy is not going to work for the minimum wage … However I don’t want my eyes taken out for a repair on my car.
I have bought the wheel bearing kit from an auto-discount shop so I only need a price for the Labour.
Thanks for your help.

Slacken wheel bolts.
Slacken driveshaft nut.

Disconnect suspension, track rod end and wishbone.
Unscrew driveshaft nut.
Remove hub.
Hit or press out bearing and replace with new.
re assemble.
Takes about 2 hours max.
£60/£70

    the spindle must be removed because that is a pressed in bearing. the spindle must be put in a press to remove old bearing and install new one the bearing is about 60-80$ and the labor is between 150-250$

    as you are supplying the bearing you may have to pay a surcharge but the job depending on no hassles would take 2 hrs circa and most garages charge about £25 per hour.
