interesting excuse.  i don't see what the other axles would have to do
with it!  ie, changing a coupe GT front wheel bearing would be an
identical job to changing a 4kq bearing.  Although 2 hours does not
sound way out of line, a pro familiar with the car should be able to do
it quicker I would think.  It looks like I had one done years ago for
about 1.25-1.5 hours labor.

Of course when I did it myself it took more like 5 hours...
