Default experiance with ek wheel bearing replacement?

subject not found on EG/EK FAQ thread.


My brother civic ek front R&L wheel bearings sound like crap due to years of neg camber.
I need to replace it.
I figure the best way is to take off the arm (detach from uppper & lower ball joint) and take the whole thing to a machine shop for them to press out old one and press in new one....


What do you think?
What is a fair price for a shop to charge for pressing in/out wheel bearings?
