I'd steer clear of the 6/7 hour place unless they're quoting the time for both sides.
Does the price include a wheel alignment as I expect it would be needed because I suspect the old bearing couldn't be extracted with the knuckle in-situ.

Good point, no one suggested a wheel alignment and yes the knuckle comes off to press.Quote:

This has got very noisy very quickly, OK over 3 weeks but only around 250klms. If it started out bush doubt I would have got home, bit of a worry, no it has not stopped yet, but not prepared to keep using it, and I maintained a fleet of vehicles for quite a while in the N.T. so have a fair idea of mechanics and how long to trust something.

Yes, wheel bearings can sound a bit noisy for a long time but once they get loud they can spit the dummy quite quickly.
