Replace them yourself...about $100
Dealership will probably charge $300/side.

What he said.
About $300-$400 per side is pretty typical. The parts themselves are about $50/side.

Do you have access to a hub tamer, good wrenches, etc.? What is your mechanical ability? A few of us on here forget that not everyone has taken their SVX apart and put it back together more than once. Doug

bearings
no offense but I wouldnt let your friend do them if he hasnt done any or he is not guided by someone who has done them before.Torque specs are critical.I just bought some from the dealer and i work at a dealer so i get a discount but i still paid 90 bux a side for both inner and outer seals, axle nut, and bearing...by the way dont repack them. they come prepacked. unfortunatly there really isnt a cheap way out of them

Ya think? :-) I'm with Doug on the quality of the grease the bearings come packed in. I spent about a week researching wheel bearing grease trying to find the ultimate grease. I didn't want to have to do the rear wheel bearings twice.

I have a hub tamer and I still wont do it myself...
Which is why I loaned it to tom for him to it FOR me. Even with the cost of the hub tamer included... it was still cheaper to pay tom to do it than the dealer We also had the debate of the repacked grease vs. shipping grease... I was set on repacking Tim- 800 miles and still quiet bearings

Despite the grease you use, is it normal for it to turn black? Like my bearings that were done 3 years ago were packed with a red high temp grease and when they were done a few weeks ago, the grease was a dark black.

I've done one, and I'll be doing two more when I go to get my other car on the road. Apparently the hub tamer makes it pretty easy but I just used a hydraulic press. It wasn't too bad, but it's one of those things where if you don't have the right tools it wont happen. If your inexperienced, take it to the dealer or a local mechanic you know and trust.

Back then, I decided on a brand called Magnalube-G (search on the net). Its a teflon impregnated grease. The wear test data on it looked great. I've learned quite a bit about teflon more recently though, and I'd be less likely to choose it now because teflon is not so great under extreme pressure conditions. There is a new lubricant under development that mixes teflon with hexagonal boron-nitride. Hexagonal BN has good extreme pressure properties, and the two together should make a great grease. Just need someone to sell it. Follow up: I did a little more searching just now, and for what is presently available, the Amsoil Series 2000 Racing Grease has slightly better published wear properties than the Magnalube.
