i work full time and work overtime atleast three nights a week, and dont have time to work on my car anymore. so i had a rear wheel bearing replaced today. went in at lunch and asked how it was coming along. mechanic still had it on the hoist, and i said how long have you been working on it? the guy goes three hours. three hours and he wasn['t even done. i am pretty sure i am getting screwed. i know with a hoist and tools i could do it in an hour. i had the other one replaced about a month ago, and they charged me 2.5. which i thought was crazy.
or am i crazy? cause to me all you have to do is, take wheel off. 3 minutes. take caliper and rotor off. 15 minutes(at most), take wheel hub nut off. 30 seconds with an impact. not sure if there is another suspension bolt i would need to take off. but lets say there is. throw another 1.5 minutes at the mystery bolt for good measure. now push out the axle. 5 minutes. (if its seized) undo the four assembley bolts holding the wheel bearing in...2 minutes with impact (at most) press out/hammer out the old wheel bearing. 5 minutes if seized.
assembly is reverse of above and should take less time. the 2g wheel bearing comes in an assembley. like hub. its not like the 1g bearing that has to be pressed in. can someone please tell me i am missing something that is going to take 2 hours, so i dont feel like i am totaly getting hosed.
hate my life. bye bye last paycheck.
