are you sure its the wheel bearing? u can pick up a complete unit for $100 so u can just replace the whole hub, fairly easy varying on how mechanically minded you are...

replace? the fronts need to be pressed out
the rears can be 'replaced'.

brand new wheel bearing cost abt $70 each.

i got a press and done front wheel bearing swap, ended up wrecking the bearing. now i know what not to do lol.

redefine: cheapest way is to buy knuckle from someone and just swap the knuckle. spin the knuckle when you inspect make sure its spins nicely.

unless you have a press you won't be able to do it.
