Default how should i go about replacing my wheelbearings?

my wheel bearings are really loose and i was wondering where should i take it what type of shop? i was planning ontakeing the hub off and letting them press out the bearings and putting new ones on? i dont want to pay for them to take everything apart. also should i go in advance and tell them what im doing so they can order the parts?? or is it a common part? any suggestions would be helpfull thanks.

Any machine shop should have a press. It was $11 for my brother to have a bearing pressed out and a new pressed in.

Howdy Greg.

I'm in austin too. There's a good guy with a press up north: http://soulspeed.com/ and in the south there's South Austin Machine shop (corner of Lamar and Manchaca).

I'm well-versed in suspension, brakes, maintenance, tuneups, bolt-ons.
Let me know if you need any help.
