[s-cars] Front Wheel bearing cost

[Jerry Scott]

I located a guy who sells a specific tool to pull out this 82 mm bearing 
on the car, but I have not yet ordered one.  They make the tool and say 
it is very high quality.  The cost is: $240 including shipping.  The 
company is Sir Tool and the contact is Oliver at 800-845-4542.  Let us 
know if you buy one and how it works.  I recently had it done here in 
Denver, paid $350 to do the job and it took about 2 hours start to 
finish.  I would probably buy the tool next time, since they charged me 
$100 for the bearing that costs $51 and $250 labor.  I am assuming that 
the other bearings will go sometime soon and it would be nice to have 
the puller.
