the rears are easy to do - you just replace the hub assembly which comes
with the bearings already in it. it's literally a 15 minute job. if
you're mechanicaly inclined you can do the job yourself. it's the
fronts that are tricky.

I'll save that for another time. While I am mechanically inclined, I'm just
not inclined to take on this task at this time. My work is 160 miles round
trip and I'm in the middle of a project that's just a little too high
exposure to risk missing extra days off if I mess something up. If it was
warmer weather where I could rely on my motorcycle while the car was down, I
would consider it.
