I can do almost everything [can't paint one] on a Car but I am slow [55 years old] and don't have all the tools. I do all my diagnosis and simple things but always pay a tech to do REAL WORK........other than turning my rotors or balancing my tires or a transmission flush or some fluid changes. I feel better having help around and dealing with someone who has done the required job SUCCESSFULLY multiple times before.

But then again I get to buy their time for $30-$35 cash an hour after work and on weekends.

While you have the rotors off might as well true then and check the hubs for out of spec runout. Whenever I have bearings changed [3 so far] I also replace the hub getting new wheel studs at the same time in the assembly.

Do you have the tool to screw the rear caliper piston in and dial indicator to make sure the hub is returned to spec?
