I had one of my rear wheel bearings replaced recently. It turned out the shop that did mine could not remove the control arms on the rear at all and had to cut the assembly off... a 280$ job turned into a 1100$ job.

Thats one wheel bearing I am glad we did not try ourselves!
Although in the past we have done them ourself. We would usually buy the bearing, take the whole hub off, take it to a shop and have them press in the new bearing. Usually saved about 140$ by doing this.
