you should be able to find the kit (bearing and retaining ring) in the
aftermarket for $50.
the audi pn is 443 498 625B (approx $140 suggested retail)

the SKF pn is BAHB 311 413A (price unknown, bearing only)
let us know if you get price and availability for this bearing.
the (82mm x 2.5mm) retaining ring is available for about $3 apiece.
audi pn for this is N 100 891 01 
i can't remember if one or two are required per side, but i wouldn't count
on reusing the old ones, so have these handy before you start.
my local dealers didn't stock this part but i eventually convinced a vw
dealer to sell me one out of a kit for (i believe) a passat (old school).
