I had my front bearings repacked by the dealer. They used two front oil seals #8-94407-711-0 @ $8.78 each, and six screws #8-97810-107-0 @ $1.03 each. That's the only parts they used. I don't know what the screws were for and if you definitely need them.
It cost me $23.74 for parts, and $168 for labor.

168 for labor? ... yeah I'd say you got packed alright.;eekb;
oh, and yes you usually need the screws.
Thanks guys... I finished it friday night, late... that's what you get for starting the job at 7. Actually to do it again would be a piece of cake, The first side was all a learning experience. I took off the brake pads then the caliper, which you only need to take off the whole caliper, didn't read the directions that well I guess. As for the screws, I used an impact driver and was able to save all 6. This is definitely a messy job, but it's nice to know I can do it now, and it cost me about the same as you, but I had to buy most of the tools, so next time it will be cheap. I used 2 of the seals I bought, the other two were for something else, I'll return those. The seals were a pain in butt to get in there, I don't really get the seal packer, I probably could have used a piece of wood or something to smack in the bearing, I rented that from autozone, and I probably won't get one for next time. The bearing pre-load was kind of a pain, but I think I got them set up just like they were when I took them out. I did notice that a little water had made it into the drivers side hub, not a lot, but the grease was discolored compared to the passenger side. All good now, I don't hear anything wrong, didn't before either but it needed to be done. Thanks again....
I can't get the directions thread to work, any suggestions?
