What is the consensus here on pressing in new bearings for the front hubs when one goes bad? The FSM says to replace the whole bearing/hub assembly. I've pressed in new bearings on my Audi and everything seems fine. The difference in price is quite high. Any experience?

I have a 95 s14 se.

you can just replace the bearings and the race man..no biggie...the factory wants you to buy new hubs..but in reallity..the hub will be fine with just a simple bearing replacement..good luck..keep us posted.
