I know right where that is! I lived there from 87-95... As for the bearing, my recommendation would be to swap it out with the parts car knuckle, but when that bearing goes out, have the dealer replace it. The bearing is a press fit, you won't get it out without a press. (As for the sealed & lubricated part, a lot of the newer bearing assemblies are a permanently lubricated, sealed unit, but I do not know if the SVX bearing is that way or not, but I DO know that the SVX rear bearings are the same as the 04-07 STi. (Might be 08 too but not sure..)
