DH had ours done the first year and found later that it wasn't to his quality standards. Since then he's done it every other year. Since wheel bearings are not in my job description, all I know is what he's said.....ugh! It's not a hard job, but messy. If you don't enjoy getting greasy, you won't enjoy this job. Surely you've got a friend who can not only do it, but show you for future reference.....this is at least a 2 beer job. Maybe more. And a bit of cash to sweeten the deal wouldn't hurt. DH can fix most anything anywhere if it comes down to it, so we carry 1 or 2 sets of wheel bearings in our standard supply in the tool and misc cabinet. Finding someone with the right bearings and is open for business on a Sunday afternoon is almost impossible. Motion Industries is where he buys the ones for our ROO and I believe it's a nationwide company.
If the friend doesn't pan out and you've not done a job like this before, I'd pay the price and ask - probably will say no - if you can watch. And that $95 is per axel. It's important part of maintenence and would not skimp on this.
