Default RE: wheel bearing

You will probably not be able to replace the bearing itself in driveway as it needs to be pressed out of the steering knuckle assembly. You should though be able to remove the knuckle in the driveway and take to a local machine shop and they should be able to press the old one out and new one in for unde $40. Will still save you a bunch over having the whole job done at a repair shop.
