    So, 95000 miles and a few years of autocross have taken their toll. Time to replace the wheel bearings.
    Can this be done in the garage with basic tools? I don't have access to a press, and really haven't looked into it yet. Looking for some advice on those that may have done this already.

    Just wondering if the hub assembly is press fit. It is not playing nicely...

    I had to replace a ball joint in my 08, required a new knuckle. New bearing just bolted on. No big deal.
